I was just reading an article on walleye spawning that stated that on average a mature female will drop around 175,000 eggs during the spawn....this was an "average".

I think that average is probably pretty close. I think some biologists use the rule of thumb of 30,000 - 40,000 eggs per pound of body weight.
