[cool][#0000ff]I just took a look at the cover of the new Cabelas Master Fishing catalog for 2009. I just about choked when I looked at the "walleye snake" being held by the guy on the front cover. Looks like what Utah Lake walleyes were looking during the last year of the big drought a few years ago. You could just about read a newspaper through them.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I got to thinking that Cabelas really should have been able to get a better picture of a walleye than that one. If they want anglers to buy gear to catch those fish, they should show a big fat healthy one. Nobody wants to catch "hammer handles"...long bodies and big heads.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Then again, maybe its mama was messin' around with a sneaky northern pike.[/#0000ff]

LMAO!!
Man its a great example of a hammer handle! 3Lbs of head followed by 2lbs body.
Oh what, aint that what the old Provo boys use to call "Pike" back in the day? LMAO!!

Your right when I saw that I thought man that is one bad looking fish to make the cover of Cabelas. You think with as many as sponsors that have to give then someone should be able to put up a nicer looking fish than that. Or maybe it was just a hybrid with a muskie which then it would be a nice fish to have out here in Utah.

I got that catalog myself. Yes the Walleye looks skinny to say the least.
But could it be the camera angle?[sly]
And why in the heck would someone be so happy to hold a skinny fish like that? Stupid idiot, must have paid him.
By the way here is an idea for you TubeDude someone needs to write—could be you—to Cabelas about that skinny Walleye, think about it.

That picture sure makes me wanna go out and buy a lot of fishing supplies so i can catch me an anorexic walleye! [:p]
[signature]
Yeah I totally agree with you guys (NOT), I would hate to catch a fish like that. Just too skinny for me, I am too good to catch a fish like that!!! Gimme a break, I understand what you are saying, but you are wasting time judging the cover of a magazine instead of chasing that Walleye yourself. Get over it, they are not going to re-print a new cover just because someone doesnt like it. Let go show them what a real Walleye looks like then!!! Again, why isnt this on the Off Topic Forum, because a "higher up" posted it??? Nothing against TD, but I get "razzed" for stuff like this, just trying to make it fare!!!

If you look at page 60 of the April Issue of Field and Stream you will notice the same Walleye Pic as the one in the left corner of the Cabelas Catalog. You can even see the Partial Cabelas Logo on his shorts, same lure and all. I Hope these pics worked.

[#0000ff]Nice to know that my [#000000]deleted[/#000000] fan club is still active. You did not need to make your snarky comment. You do not run the board, and the moderators are perfectly able to make those decisions on their own.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Why not post something of interest and value to the general membership, rather than lurk on the sidelines, waiting to take a potshot at someone?[/#0000ff]

First off I wasnt taking any shots, just stating an opinion on the fact that the post should not have been on the Fishing Forum. You say post something interesting, well what the heck is this post? Who cares about a snakey Walleye? A year or so ago I posted a report when I ran across that guy that kidnapped his ex-wife, shot her, ran out of gas in the middle of the desert and I ran across them and got her the help she needed. The guy killed himself but the lady eventually pulled through and lived, but that post got moved. Granted absolutely nothing to do with fishing, but one of our own BFT guys did something to help someone and was recognized in the paper and news (tv) and it only lasted about 33 minutes on the board!!! If it was someone like yourself it would have lasted forever on the board because you are who you are!!!

[#0000ff]Sounds like a personal problem. Maybe a combination of sour grapes, jealousy and egoitis.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I recommend you stay off the boards for awhile and it will clear up. About 10 years should do it.[/#0000ff]

Good call LCP. Thats funny they used it twice.
[signature]
funny you should mention this.. when I got the catalog I thought the same thing.. "Man, in the whole country they couldn't find a better walleye than that?!"
[signature]
I just can't think of anyone on this board that gives better reports than TD. Sheez...18000 posts. He has earned a few off the board things if he wants. If there is something on here I don't want to read I just don't read it.
[signature]
jezz you guys need to hug it out.
TS, so what it went on a stray board? seems like its in the right place now?
TD, i dident see any bashing, and dont think im trying to jump on my brothers side, you should know me a little better then that.
[signature]
I was thinking the same thing. Seemed a little out of character for TD.
I geuss everyone get to have an "off day" now and then.
I'll probly get in trouble but I like to stir pots...
TD.......
Tough day?
Touchy dude?
Totally drained?
Tantalizing Diva?
Terrible duty?
Tact Deficient?
Terminal disfunction?
Train derailed?
Trashy Disposition?
