Walleye is the No. 1 game fish in the Midwest. It's a thrill to catch and tastes fantastic, too. This recipe, created by my husband, is a favorite of my family.

4 bacon strips, halved
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
1 can (6 ounces) crabmeat, drained, flaked and cartilage removed or 1 cup imitation crabmeat, flaked

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels; drain. In the same skillet, saute the onion, celery and crab in butter until vegetables are tender. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the stuffing, water, salt, pepper and cayenne; toss to moisten.
