back in the days of old , you know when we were kids . walleye were considered a trash fish , borderline carp status . when the jumbo perch disapeared from unregulated netting by the indiginous americans our sportsmen suplemented the jumbo perch with walleye .
it was not uncomon to catch the true jumbo pearch in lengths of over 20" .not many were ever stuffed or mounted as they were a food fish so any surviving mounts are priceless !
funny , fiftey years or so ago , stergon and walleyes were trash fish , now highley sought after as a game fish . now there carp and catfish tourneys , hey if it gets to gobies being a sportfish i'm burning my fishing rods !
