Those are very nice walleyes.  Do you tend to catch a bigger average when ice fishing?  That was true for rainbow trout for me up in B.C; consistently bigger trout when caught through the ice than summer fishing from shore or a canoe.

Enjoy the cold outdoors.  I'm sitting here sipping a hot latte watching it get light outside in the cold rain.

I would say yes on average. The walleye fishing for the last few years on the river has exploded a lot of fish and a lot of bigger ones.


"For walleye fishing on the Connecticut River, you must follow a slot limit: no fish between 16-18 inches, a daily limit of 4 fish total, and only one can be over 18 inches, with fishing generally open year-round but check for seasonal closure areas like near the Upper Ammonoosuc. Remember, a valid NH or VT license works, and you need to release all 16-18 inch walleyes to protect spawning females. "
