Gone Fishin'? Some walleye worth $100

Anglers in lakes Huron and Erie who catch tagged walleye could earn $100. This photo was taken in Garrison, MN - the proclaimed "Walleye Capitol of the World."
If you catch a special kind of walleye, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources will pay you $100.
The MDNR implanted 400 walleyes with microchips in lakes Huron and Erie so they could track fish. The walleyes also sport an orange tag attached to a back fin.
If you catch one of the fish, contact the DNR during business hours.
And if you plan to have it for dinner? Don't eat the microchip.
