ALMOST state record walleye!

Unread postby Dewey » Wed Jul 22, 2020 12:27 pm

Pretty shocking from Lac Vieux Desert since it gets speared heavily every year. Good to see this one survive.....till now.

Here’s the story....

Not how I expected an almost 17 lb fish would look like. Probably would look much different full of eggs. She does have a huge head. :o

Still exciting coming out of the Northwoods. 8-)

Nice fish! I never would have guessed it over 16lbs...
It only takes 15 seconds for the hunt of a lifetime.

I agree Ricky Bobby. :lol:

Anything over 10 lbs is big around here so 16+ is unheard of. It likely is a state record because I hear there was no real good documentation on the 18 lb record caught MANY years ago up on High Lake which is coincidentally just west of Lac Vieux Desert.
