Fishing online with the Pros

[Tour. Pro 175]

Tyler,

The muskie was 52" long and weighed around 40 lbs. Almost as big as you.

[Matt Breuer]

Walleyes can get up around 17 pounds, even bigger. 34 inches is a huge walleye and they don't run a whole lot bigger than that.

Walleyes do get over 25 lbs.

At least that is close to the Worlds record. I believe that fish came out of Greer's Ferry Resorvoir in Arkansas.

[Dan Wood]

The state record walleye for Minnesota is:
17 pounds 8 oz. and 35.8 inches long

That is a HUGE fish!

[Navigator]

I'm with Tyler...Paul how big is that Musky? And put it in terms of feet, at least that is what my son always asks.

lbs. = pounds.
oz.s = ounces
Minnesota State Record Walleye is 17 pounds 8 ounces.

If I were to guess, that fish was somewhere in the 35-37 inch range.

The best place to get biiigggg walleyes is Lake of the Woods near Canada, and Mille Lacs Lake by Brainerd in Minnesota.

[can it be luck?]

There's many lakes in MN. that have BIG walleye, some more than others. With time, patience, and a little luck, I'd bet all of you could catch a "monster" walleye.

[Matt Johnson]

Lake of the Woods is an excellent lake for a lot of walleyes, not to mention some of those big muskies as well

Good Fishin,
Matt Johnson

James,
I don't believe there are any largemouth bass pictured. They are smallmouth bass, also called bronzebacks because of their bronze coloration.

Both fish you see are in the 4-5 lb class.

nice smallies for sure.

Hey kids,
Did you know that there is a fish in Europe called a Zander?
It looks a lot like a walleye but can get much bigger and they have teeth like Muskie!!
Maybe I can find a picture of one.....

[mistermom]

Hey Cody!
Some of the biggest walleyes caught every year come out of the Mississippi river. Right now in pool 4 by Red Wing people are fishing for walleyes in open water.

[Matt Johnson]

Yep, Zander have been caught in North Dakota as well, but they were put in lakes by accident and some of the Zander were really big!

Good Fishin,
Matt Johnson

[Chris Haley]

Zander look just like a walleye without the white tip. Fish in the 15lb to 25lb range are common.

[Matt Breuer]

Here's a typical walleye from Lake of the Woods in the summer!

Smallmouth Bass can jump several feet out of the water. A strong fighting fish!

I personally have had smallies leap 3 feet + out of the water, trying to shake loose the hook!

The Minnesota River also hold some nice walleyes, along with huge flathead cats and very nice channel cats.

Truly multi-species there and it's close to us.

[Guest]

Here's a Zander-

[can it be luck?]

A zander sounds like a big fish!...Maybe they should call it a "sea monster" instead!

[Tour. Pro 175]

Every lake has large walleyes. Some of the larger lakes such as Mille Lacs, Winnie, Leech, Lake of the Woods have more because of their size. There is alot of room for fish to hide and get to be big Walleyes.

Walleyes can get to be 32"-35" in lenght

[Matt Johnson]

Here's a couple pictures of a largemouth bass...

[wastewaterguru]

My favorite bait for catching the big flathead catfish is smaller catfish called bullheads.

If you have fished some of the smaller lakes and rivers, you've probably run into a few bullheads.

Not sure if we are still going, but I thought it would be nice to share one way you can tell the difference betwen a largemouth and a smallmouth.

THeir stripes.

Smallmouth bass stipes go up and down and largemouth go sideways!!!

[can it be luck?]

My grandfather was sort of crabby, my grandmother used to call him a "bullhead". She'd say, "Quit being a bullhead and take the kids fishing!"
