Got an invitation to go fishing with some good friends. Beautiful day on the water in Eastern Wyoming. Caught 16 walleye, kept 13 of them, 7 yellow perch- 5 went in the live well, a drum and 2 carp. Snap jigging slab spoons was the ticket. Had about 6 or so over 20 inches. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/08/full-61217-429284-20240824_072915_copy.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/08/full-61217-429285-20240824_105501_copy.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/08/full-61217-429286-img_20240824_162319_copy.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/08/full-61217-429287-img_20240824_162021_1_copy.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/08/full-61217-429288-img_20240824_162327_copy.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/08/full-61217-429289-456546581_3771973386401189_4108872938474307277_n.jpg)

 I have never caught one before, would love to. I used to target them at Lewisville Lake by the old party cove where I35 crosses, we would use deep diving crankbaits off he rocks, never got one. I caught one one time at Grapevine while drift fishing for catfish, I saw it but it pulled off it was about 18 inches.

Walleye cheeks are the best! Congrats, looks like a great day.

Best eating fish I’ve tasted.
Went to Nebraska once and hired a guide. Trolled around using downriggers and caught a mess of them around 15-18”.
Kept and ate every single fish.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

That’ll make a heck of a fish fry!

Walleye and yellow perch are awesome eating fish. Nice white flakes and no fishy taste. I coat the filets with Panko bread crumbs, Italian seasoned, a light sprinkle of Ragin Blaze and lemon pepper then pan fry. The walleye have Y bones that have to be removed for boneless filets. Our friend can filet walleye in no times and he lightly brines the filets before freezing, they last a lot longer in the freezer that way. We trade fish for wild game every year. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/08/full-61217-429424-20240820_184320_copy_copy.jpg)

Wytex, between walleye and yellow perch, which one do you think tastes the best?
It’s a toss up for me and haven’t ever got to taste test both at the same time. I’ll say that yellow perch are pretty darn tasty. I don’t know anywhere in Texas that has yellow perch but I sure wish we had them.
