Does anyone have a picture of this 18lb 4oz walleye that was supposedly caught below Ft. Thompson yesterday.

i have a picture on my phone i dont know how to get it on the computer but I was told it was only 15.5 and is number 2

[wplatehunter]

I saw photos of two walleyes that were over 15lbs from that area in the last week. Very nice looking fish.

[rattleL]

yea i have the picture of the 15.2 fish, but i heard an 18.4 fish was cuaght this last friday.

18-4 was a photoshop job of one of the 15s.

Not true.

Might be a dumb question, just wondering where Fort Thompson is about?

Take Hwy 34 West until you get to the river.

In my opinion with the rumors, pics etc going around the boats are gonna be stacked up there. I know I wont be fishing there any time soon.

[Team_FBR]

rundrave is that hwy 34 that is just north of pelican rapids

[Jarrod32]

No...you are talking about Minnesota State Highway 34. This is South Dakota State Highway 34.

Fort Thompson is about 140 miles west of Sioux Falls on the Missouri River. It is just northwest of Chamberlain, and southeast of Pierre, SD.

This is what I got on my phone.

thats a pig for sure if thats the one

[Dylan33]

WOW! Thats ridiculous! Great fish. (if it's real)

[gopher_nation]

Here is the same fish with different people holding it. Notice the background is the same. Even the shadow angles in all three pictures are the same, which means the pics were taken one after another.

Big fish indeed. 15.59 lbs and 33 3/4 inches. I think the 18.4 lb story is fake but this is the runner up to South Dakota's state record.

Finaly some media about this fish, this was in todays Argus Leader: Pierre angler proud to be No. 2

Picture of that slob with the little boy------------ PRICELESS

[mrklean]

haha the fish looks bigger then the kid

The guy in the pic is Jeff, and his buddy cought the fish, it was cought below the dam at Ft. Thompson and it was recoreded as the second largest walleye in SD. Jeff mounted the fish and his buddy wanted to clean it. There have been several others cought in the 15 pound range but none above 15.59 pounds and 33 3/4 inches.

Whatever the size, what a PIG.

[WalleyeGod]

Wow! Nice fish.
