I'm glad they taste so good. Not to insult the fish but she fought like a 6 lb water logged stick.

That's a big ol' walleye. I have never caught one that big in thirty years of targeting them and catching thousands of them. Y'all have bigger walleye on average down there than we do for sure. And no, they are not hard fighters. But, boy, they are delicious.
A few years ago I caught a 7-4 in Lanier and it fought like yours but tasted great. I called the DNR to find out the Lanier record and it was 8-3 at the time. I know it's not a fact unless there's a picture but it's on my home computer and I'm 500 miles from there. I caught it on a spoon fishing for bass. I catch a few each year on a spoon.
IMHO,,,, why would you keep it,,,, the big ones spawn the best,,,, besides the small ones taste better,,,, gotta think of the future,,,, just saying,,,,

It doesn't matter if he keeps it or not. Blueback herring impacts the walleye population not a person keeping one here or there. If every person that caught one in Lanier through it back, it wouldn't matter. Keep em and eat, it won't matter a bit.
"The blue back herring fish in Lake Lanier prevent succesfull spawning of the walleye population."
Why would BB's in the lake prevent the spawn...just curious?
