Walleye World!

It's been all about Walleye here lately. The water is warming up - a balmy 50F on the surface - 45 at 10-15 meters. Late in the day yesterday I spotted a Walleye in only about 10 meters of depth - they are moving in a bit as the water warms up. This is nice for pictures since there is a bit more color. Anyway - I took a few shots of that guy playing with the flash then (I like the way their eyes shine under the flash), on the way up spotted what I thought was a log with 3 walleye lounging around it.
Defnitely NOT a log!

check out the video

The other still is a leviathan I found out a little deeper. The very mucky bottom here usually keeps me from getting the camera down as low as I'd like - I have to push it forward and take the shot before the silt swirls up.

Addendum - couple more shots from Today - Water was 43F and there were Walleye on every dive - all between 40-50 feet deep and quite large. I can't get enough of their faces!
