[cool][#0000ff]We have all heard how the encroaching hordes of perch, and the stunted smallmouth, are making it tough for the walleyes in Starvation to make a living. I was advised by a fisheries biologist that they used to find "numerous" walleyes up to 15 pounds in their gill nets, but that anything over 5 pounds was unusual these days.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]There was an article in the "Hook Shot" corner of the Outdoor section of this morning's Tribune that might suggest that there are still some bigguns in Starvation...besides the big browns.[/#0000ff]
