Ironic farther west in Idaho they are considered trash fish.

Where in Idaho.

Where in Idaho.
Was told that by a taxidermist in Bonner's Ferry. He said the locals think they look like sqawfish and throw them up on the bank.
Not the case?

Not around here, people spend a lot of time trying to catch them. They figure next state record will come from reservoir right down the road.

Actually I did a little research and found that there are walleye in the northern part of the state in a couple rivers and a lake. I'm guessing that the fact that there is no limit on them there they are trying to eradicate them from those places. Since they have no limit they are treated as nongame fish and can be wasted as you mentioned. I'm sure they only want the fishery as trout/salmon only. Sad to see a great tasting fish wasted like that. I saw the same thing with pike in Nevada at one reservoir they didn't want them in, lots of fish thrown on the bank.
-
Check out the emerging walleye fishery in Coeur D'Alene. You're right cuznalfy, they're working their way down the Clark Fork drainage via Noxon into the Idaho panhandle.
-
Apparently there's a very healthy population in lake pend oreille.
-
My mistake, the Clark feeds Pend Oreille, not Couer D'Alene. They're in CDA as well though.
-
Yea, I remember seeing that too in some of the things I've read. They've deemed them as trash fish in that part of the state.
-
Bump...
I just found this. That record may not hold after all.

I was told there is a video on FB hard water freaks showing it was fouled
-
That sucks
-
why does it suck? the guy is a cheat. rules are rules.
Pretty strong talk unless you know the guy. If he was out "snagging" walleyes then he's a "cheat". If he was out fishing and happened to foul-hook it, he is not a cheat. What would any of us do if we were lucky enough to bring a walleye like that into the boat? I would be happy just to see one like that next to the boat....h2l

I agree. Any of us that have fished long enough have accidentally fouled hooked fish. OTOH I would hope we would have the conviction not to enter the fish as a record, but it would be tough.
Over here in Ohio when the walleye run up the Maumee River from Lake Erie it's not hard to do it accidentally. Sadly I know of a guy that pulled one in and was in the process of removing the hook and got dinged for foul hooking. It's a kangaroo court over here and generates a lot of money. All the C.O,'s there drive spanking new SUV's. I wonder where that money comes from? Rumor has it they have a quota. I had run in with one of them that runs another business (illegal for him). He's what I call a dirty cop.

Think I would have fought that one, that's ridiculous to get a ticket while unhooking a fish. If it was unhooked and not released then that's a different story.

Just wondering what your opinions are on this scenario -
You catch a bass on a large jerk bait with 3 trebles. Tail treble is in fishes mouth but the middle and head treble are across the gill plate. First hook you take out is the tail end hook that was in the mouth. Then second treble is the middle one. If you at that point only saw 1 hook being removed from the gill plate, would you call that a foul hooked fish?
Yes at that point I believe it would be considered foul hooked.

I would say it’s not foul hooked if it’s hooked in the mouth.

Guys and Gals, I started this in a new topic so I do not Hi jack the original post.
-
I went back to my post and Bolded the important part of my question. That 1 of 3 hooks was IN the fishes mouth. Because you see, if you start taking the hooks out one at at time in the reverse order, would you still count that as foul hooked?
It’s just my opinion but if it has a hook in the mouth, it’s not foul hooked.
I’m sure a CO would give you a hard time if it was only foul when he saw it. he’s not going to buy that the hooks were in the mouth as well.
State by state may have different rules highlighting what I’d and is not a snag/foul hooked fish.

Its not worth getting your tackle and vehicle impounded and it's their word against yours.

Yea, your right on there. Then they'd watch you like a hawk to boot.

Hey fishhogger I have personal experience with following all the rules, and a fish still was not allowed to be entered as a record. And of course an outdoor writer making it into a controversy didn't help either. He made a big deal out of it being caught in a private pond. Last I looked we have 12 state records out of private bodies of water! This was the same writer that got into hot water in IceShanty.com for complaing about people keeping "too many large perch." More or less a flyfishing purist that thought everything should be released.
But you know what? Doesn't bother me in the slightest. It was a personal achievement for me, and it's still the biggest yellow perch ever caught in the state I that I know of. And she's mounted in a ice fishing scene in a glass case in my studio.
Funny, got a call from an INDNR biologist about a year later wanting to use a picture of it, to brag it up as an Indiana yellow perch to some out of state biologists coming for a conference. I said no, as if it wasn't good enough for a state record than it wasn't good enough to brag about. Wasn't mean about it, and I respected and liked that biologist. But that was my stance on it. End of story.

i always wanted to stand out in the river there and caast and yank(like im snagging) with just a sinker. lol
i have caught them watching me with binoculars before. thought they were hiding i guess. lol i sat down with my binocs and stared back at them till they went on their way. i know its their job but it still don't set well with me to be spied on! people that aren't breaking the law usually take offense to being accused ya know.
as far as the foul hooked fish, id say its the Burdon of the states to prove wrong doing. if there was a hook in its mouth then there is a hole. its just a fish record for god sakes. there are plenty of record fish caught and released every year that go unreported.
id have to see the video for myself. anyone have the link?
I had business dealings with one of those C.O's in Ohio that patrolled the river. A bad cop if I ever saw one. No ethics or morals.

The video was on Hardwater freaks on FB but it is a closed group ,

No problem fishhogger , I don’t do the FB thing ,

What's Facebook?

Have no idea of the veracity of this claim but has anyone noticed whenever someone catches a record fish or shoots a record buck some people have to make a controversy out of it? It's like they're jealous or something. "Oh that record fish could not have been caught around here," or "That buck had to be pen raised."
I had it happen to me by an outdoor writer.

No record but I caught the biggest crappie of my life on a boyscout camp pond. Now I say pound but its 30 plus acre pond. Everyone i showed said yea nice fish but not really a challenge fishing in that pond. Doesnt bother me but some people just cant stand to see someone else successful

That's what happened to me. I caught a yellow perch 5 ounces bigger then the state record in one of my ponds (this was before I raised and sold fish). Anyway an outdoor writer had to make a big deal of the fact it was taken out of private pond when we have 12 state records out of ponds here. In fact the last state record yellow perch came out of private gravel pit.
Anyway the state said I followed all the rules but...
Had a guy chastise me on a forum (not this one) saying it was like fishing in a barrel. Two other anglers that day didn't catch one perch.
That said don't really care. It's my personal record. Never caught one close to that since, although now that I raise yellow perch I can consistently them in the 14 inch range. Never caught one 16 inches in 14 years. It was an anomaly.

Let me tell you what. All the people.who hassled me about how it was easy and is a pond. I could take all of them over there open water or ice fishing give them my pole with my set up and every 9 out 10 people wouldnt even be able to catch a crappie let alone a huge one. This past winter I took my brother in law niece and my daughter out ice fishing set up in my honey hole gave me a few limits of fish this past winter. Anyways My daughter and my self were in one shack well my Brother in law and niece were in other shack. We ended up with 55 fish between the 4 of us that day and I caught 35 of the keepers my self. It's not luck to catch fish its skill luck is catching the true giants. Taxid if your ever in the fi get lakes region of NY get at me I'll take ya out and show ya some great perch fishing

Thanks for the generous offer. If you're ever out this way in the fall or winter I can do the same.
