Good walleye casting on a weedline in 8 FOW. Medium fast retrieve, stormy windy weather, overcast. Stained water just after a rain with water in the 70's and stained because of rain. Fish are shallow but will be moving out deeper soon for warmer water.

whitebass_81 0I've never heard of how holding fish vertically can break their jaw but I'll be careful..
-
whitebass_81 0Ok thanks for the info, still not sure how how that might break their jaw though. I get it if you hold them like that but at an angle @CalvinFease
-
Calvin Fease 0You're holding it like that in your profile pic.
-
Calvin Fease 0It can break their jaw which impairs eating, and could eventually starve them to death. You can prevent this by supporting their weight horizontally near the anal ...more fin.
-
whitebass_81 0Didn't know that, and how does holding them by the mouth kill them? @CalvinFease
-
Calvin Fease 0Actually, if you're careful, gilling them is the safest way. You won't break their jaw like lipping them; and if you clamp their gill plates, it could break ...more various things in their gills.
-
whitebass_81 0Haha i know, just wanted to try it. I normally clamp down their gill flaps with one hand and hold the tail with the other, I don't like putting my hands in fish's ...more gills. @CalvinFease
-
Calvin Fease 0Just FYI, it's a lot easier if you don't hold them by the lower lip like you would with bass. Either grab them under the gill flap or pin them around the ...more back of the head.

fishwizard52 0Nice walleye man! Just one thing to add--walleye like the water pretty cool, so that's why they go deeper in summer.
