I was at Beaver today and saw  two groups of Mintuckyins with 15 fish per group with a least five fish ever 25 inches.We need  to have slots to stop these clowns from ruining the fishin in our lakes.

Maybe i did spell it right the first time.  Devils has taken another brutal pounding this spring as well.  Probably just as bad as the missouri.

     I would like to see it regulated by the fishermen vs. the government.  I fish more than most and for me I believe it would be detrimental to keep limits of big fish and therefore I do not.  There are people that only fish several days/year though and I would like to see them be able to keep some of what they keep.
     Like most others on this site, i release more than I keep but I wonder what the survival rate of some of these fish would be.

Once again, a Saturday angler knows more than the 8-12 hour a day biologists, and has more information crammed in his brain on this topic than the 50+ years of hard walleye data on the missouri river system.  You should call the game and fish, I bet they've never thought of this.

  Quit player hatin' and start congratulatin'

The reason we're catching huge walleyes is because of our game and fish dept. and cyclic high water and food supply, not because there was a slot limt...remember Oahe 5 to 10 years ago?...remember the limits then?...of course not.  we only see whats in front of our faces right now, and assume it came from god, or a slot limit.  No type of slot limit will effect nor improve the fishing on the missouri river system what so ever.

I suggest you enjoy the good fishing to come for the next 5 or so years until the next downward trend in the repeating water level and food cycle gets here and quit worring about every one else keeping your walleyes.

What a unique perspective! Couldn't have said it better myself! Seems like many like to bitch about people keeping big ones, bitch about people keeping small ones, bitch about people keeping fish during the spring, and on and on it goes, without a bit of science to back all the bitching up!!

You can thank the SD game and fish for the way Oahe is right now.
They were the ones that took action back then....

I doubt if they had that many over 25 inches.  I've only caught one over 25" this year, and I fish quite a bit.   The big ones they kept were probably around 23".  

I think multi-species-angler said it best.

I understand what a 25 inch plus eye looks like. South Dakota has everything to do with the big fish. They have a slot limit. I am not bitching about anything fellas. I want ethical fisherman left alone and the unethical ones to be regulated. I would like my kids to have a chance at a whopper someday. I would prefer to catch 19-20 inch fish.I could care less if I ever caught another 30 inch eye. I love the fishery and could not be happier. I am just trying to protect the future fishermen.

I guess that the biologists that spend 12 hours a day in SD must not know that a slot limit will not help.  You are welcome for the fish from your neighbors from the south.

Oh yeah, forgot to thank the SD game and fish too...Thanks for the gizzard shad and the raised limits years ago to drop the walleye population to correspond with the forage.  And I don't know who to thank for the rain and runoff for the last 3 years, but I'm thankfull for it.

Now as far as that slot limit goes...ok...lets hear it from someone else first.  Just as I asked the last time this topic came up, and no one even tried to answer.

Explain to us in detail exactly how "the slot limit" or "any other slot limit" will or has helped our current fishery on the missouri river system.  Then explain how a "succesfull" slot will not be trumped by the ever constantly repeating water levels going up and down.  And you can't use Obama or global warming in your essay.

Cut the guys some slack, they probably haven't seen a fish that big back in their home waters and they probably have dink hangover from "the opener".
