        Dennis Anderson: Again on the walleye opener, 'Winnie' gives up her treasures
    




        
    
My first walleye took the bait within a handful of minutes of dropping a line into Lake Winnibigoshish's 48-degree water.

        Brad Dokken: No doubt, there is something special about the walleye
    




        
    
For me, the walleye has a mystique I find difficult to explain. The appearance is definitely part of it. Walleyes are beautiful fish, and their color varies depending on where you catch them.
