POSSIBLE RECORD WALLEYE!

[trollingforeyes]

This 41 inch monster Walleye (weight unknown) was caught thru 14 inches of ice just north of Catawba Island in 27 ft. of water by one lucky ice fisherman. A buddy of mine who is an ice fishing guide on Put-In-Bay sent me this picture today.

Estimated weight is 20-22 lbs making it one of the largest Walleye ever caught in the entire country. They are waiting for the weight to be officially verified but it looks to have completely smashed the previous state record of 16 lbs 3oz.

How can I cut and paste a picture of this monster in this post?

I bet it's Gillespie's fish that has been posted everywhere lately. 32" 12 lber I believe.

Nice fish!

I wonder if he deep fried it or baked it?

[bobbymalone]

where your white tip, yo?

zander?

head also looks like zander. could be just an angle though.

could also be some perspective tricks.

could be a lot of things.... but not a 3 foot plus walleye.

John is a close talker. Just sayin'.

The Walleye measures out to about 41-42 inches, in this photo.

Now whether or not the picture has been doctored is debatable, and it will be interesting to see how true it is.

This is old news guys, he caught it over on Erie and it was all on video.

The show aired a couple of weeks ago.

[eyeguy 54]

Its the same eye as in the video. Just closer. lol, c'mon people.

[eyeguy 54]

DTro, are you doubting the internet??

[eyeguy 54]

There is another one floating around recently that claims to be the new Catch and Release World record at a reported 35" and 14lb 10oz

Caught on Ontario's Bay of Quinte.

These Catch and Release records only require a submitted length and witness signature, so no official verification. Its an honor system.

[eyeguy 54]

35.3 inches. 14 10 oz wow

[landscaper]

That John is something else!!!

I get a kick out of him. Sort of a quiet guy. He drives my wife crazy. So I see he is doing the ol' arms outstretched trick we have all done to make the fish look bigger. I wonder if he actually caught it or someone he was with and then he took the glory. lol Whatever it is a nice fish.

[RiverChuckNorris]

Looks closer to 50" to me......................How THAT guy has a show baffles me everytime I see it!

[harvey lee]

That fish does nothing as my 25 inch white crappie has a larger girth than that fish.

I have a guy who will say I iced it so, I guess I have the new world record. Wish I would have not lost the photo of that MONSTER.

[eyeguy 54]

don't be hatin on John now. He didn't say it was 41. lol

[DrJuice1980]

I bet it was somebody else's catch, he just had to land it ("oh looks like Tom has one on over there, oooh a rod bender wahaha wahaha o jeez wahaha...") and take the hook off, pose with it, and let it go, all while laughing incoherently.
