I loved reading this. Good on the guy for putting it back. Not all super heroes wear capes.

Nice ending,  I'm sure it would not have been the greatest tasting, maybe a little breeding left in it.

That is a long Walleye!

36" Wow that's a beauty , nice that he got his pictures and put it back ....

I've seen some big Eyes but nothing that long. I wonder what it would weight. You comp gurus here can probably do some forensic photography and guestimate it's weight.

13.745 12.090 12.005 11.975 11.805  11.790 11.690 11.675

30.50" 29.75" 31.25" 31.25" 29.25" 31.75" 30.75" 31.00"

 

John, those are the weights and lengths from the top fish in that fall brawl thing on Lake Erie, there is quite a bit of variation? the longest fish wasn't even in the top five? #5 was 2 1/2 inches shorter than # 6 but weighed more?

The one in the story looks like a nice healthy fish, but not particularly fat? and it doesn't give a girth? A fish to be happy with though no matter what the weight? and a nice release? 15lbs +? hard to tell?

Wow...36" is wild!

36" is a huge length for a walleye! Beautiful fish!
