WE were eating the fish,  they were all 14-16 inch fish which we consider the best  size to eat for walleyes.  If the fish looks smaller to some people,  look again.  Pictures distort the true image.  Is this the problem for someone???  We have friends that keep 12 inch walleyes and eat them,  we think that is too small.  They were not bait fish as OS suggests.  Have a good day.
