I think the first time i smoked walleye, which was more of an experiment. Was scared to pull them out too early, i think i smoked them for about 41/2 to 5 hours. Those ones turned out rubbery, so each time after that i kept the temp the same and knocked 1/2 hour off each time.
Think i got it close to where i like it now, and like i said before about 3 hours, put's me pretty close. Temp i key though, if the big cheif doesn't have a termostat i would buy one of those cheap oven ones. Smoking is alot of fun, but also alot of work. I would also keep logs written down on time, temps, number of fish and keep these records to keep improving.
Just a guess, but if your buddy smoked his walleye for 7hr, that is the reason it went rubbery
