HUGE WALLEYE Breaks 7 State Records!! (New PB!)

[@Cyph3rX]

I was 13 years old when on oneida lake in upstate NY I landed a 30" eye from the shore. The scene was so much like this. Every fisherman gathering around and some taking photos and eventually us releasing it. I'm 34 years old now and that fish has been mentioned every year I've been alive since. Congrats on a lifetime fish catch 🎉🎉

[@colinwalter9381]

Congrats man!!!!! So cool you caught and released it on video and with your friends. Fish of a lifetime!

[@squealingreels2503]

I'm stoked to see someone else releasing big walleye. Most local guys in my area would eat that fish no questions asked. I've caught 4 fish in the past 2 years over 30 inches from the Ohio including a 12 lb slob. I turned them all back in hopes that they will pass on those genetics another year or two before they wind up on someone's dinner plate! Good work! Awesome fish!

[@williamlavelle7786]

The taste of that size fish would be terrrible. i'm 84 and learned years ago that much over 20in. the taste goes south fast.

[@williamcarr1678]

What a catch!!! So awesome!!! Your are the man for sending her home!!!

Caught my biggest walleye last year out of the Allegheny by north shore. Measured out to 33 inches and weighed 15 pounds. Thing was a unit.

[@buck3003]

Walleye in the Allegheny River? I was just out in Tidioute wondering if I can fish anywhere around there for them.. I do know the trout get stocked

Well said my friend! I also agree, something that big is a breeder and needs to go back!

[@stevehougom7454]

Add 2 lbs to that girl had you caught her in the spring. I caught a 31 and a quarter inch female back in April of 2000 near red wing on the miss. She was 13.6 and full of eggs. Love fishing that shallow sundown bite esp in fall. Good job on the release and respect for the fish.

Private message where that spot is ?? From Illinois Sure it’s not here

[@Pyle81]

BIG FEMALE, Those are pretty common here on the South Shore of Lake Erie this time of the yr. A buddy was out last Saturday night fishing off the rocks just west of the mouth of the Cuyahoga River in about 11 ft of water. And he hooked a 13 lb fish that was just a touch over 32 inches. He also put her back, He was just keeps smaller 21"-26" males after Halloween. But the Big Pigs are in the shallows feeding on anything that moves.

Imagine if your whole body weight was hung from a metal hook placed under your jaw in the region of your carotid artery after you just faught with every drop of gas you had in the tank. I would bet even if you could run away after being put down you would be fucked up for life.

No, this one was already in therapy from eating crayfish that pinch at its insides. Plus only 0.040% of its children live beyond age 3. Most are eaten alive by hungry neighbors, and the police do nothing?! @@thylacine123

[@steveletson6616]

My second biggest walleye was 13.25 lbs and 30 inches long caught during a Michigan winter. She was fat and tasted great.

[@user-cz9wg1ks2e]

B l ah blah

[@brob-zy8zi]

That's crazy, Congratulations! The state record was caught just a few miles down the road from where I live just two years ago. It's crazy to see Walleye that big come from these waters like it's Minnesota or something. I've caught a couple probably in the 24 inch range over the years incidentally while fishing at night for smallmouth. But, judging by the amount I've caught by accident on them I think a 1/2 oz Spinnerbait is a good lure to throw especially in a lake setting. There are times I couldn't keep the eyes off long enough to catch a smallmouth. Awesome fish.

What an absolute behemoth of a Walleye. Fantastic

[@Pyle81]

Come to Lake Erie in the Fall and you'll catch so many of those that you'll get bored of doing it. Around her in the fall, We don't get excited untill it's over 34 inches and at least 13 lbs. And its not uncommon to see one of two of them in a night also the Big Rocks just west of the mouth of the Cuyahoga River. But you need to be in a boat to get to the better spots for those hogs. Where they are laying on the sand bar at the end if the wall.

[@M-LOutdoors]

I tried going to shore fish and didn’t have much luck. I’d love to go boat fishing there again. We went once and limited out with about 7 or 8 of us each
