Yes, that is exactly the name of the product. Sorry I used the word dye, I think Doug said something about it turns up like dye or something. Hell I don't know! All I know is he used the word dye.
But please remember one thing when you are posting your new posts about KILLING walleyes this weekend!
"Using the resource wisely, is the most important thing to YOU."
I think those were your words!
Now that you know that there is a natural reproduction in Salmon, maybe it will change your mind about which fish to release and which ones to eat. To you, they are there for you to eat. Too those of us that have put hundreds of hours of labor into planting trees, building structure and even making a trip to Wildhorse ice fishing, to bring back 2600 perch to plant in Salmon, they are there for the pleasure of catching and keeping the resource. If you don't think they fight good, apparently you have never caught one in the 8-16 pound range.
This all being said, You think it makes sense to kill your six biggest and I think it makes more sense to let a fish that is older, bigger and closer to reproduction go! But, I feel this way about all fish not just walleye. I caught two huge trout (which i hate) last year at Salmon Dam. I released them both hoping that some day a little kid will hook that same fish and have as much fun as I did. As said earlier, I caught and released 26 catfish last weekend ALL big by my standards, for the same reason. I also caught and released an Albino Cat a few years ago that was pushing the 10lb mark. I'm sure you have your reasons for killing as do I have my reasons for releasing better quality fish. All I can say is, the satisfaction I got out of releasing that Albino Cat was very very gratifying. Hoping some day that I would see some kid holding it on the front page of the Statesman! I get that same satisfaction, turning big Walleyes or Smallmouths back as well. Leaving them for the generation coming up. My philosophy is, You can't ever catch them again, if someone through them on the bbq.
I guess we agree to disagree!
