I have been all riled up as to the age of these fish. I am sending one on an airplane ride to South Dakota for aging. Our good friend Dave Willis said he would check one out for me. It will be getting shipped on Monday Oct. 14th. I can be a stickler for detail. The suspense is killing me. I will share the results with Pond Boss on this thread. When I know the age of the specimen I will be more specific on the stocking circumstances. Regardless of the true age, I am definitely very pleased so far.
T.J. I fried them up with just some reg. seasoned flour. I never had a decent sized walleye filet, and wanted to get a true sense of the flavor.
Brook, Wilson. I'm with Cody. I put some small SMB in the same pond Nov. 2012. I have caught 3-4 of them, their growth rates were all over the board. I put them in at 3-4" I have caught 2 that were pushing 9", and the other 2 were around 6 inches.
