World Record Walleye

[Dan189]

Below is a link that I came across of a 22lb 11oz World Record Walleye caught in 1982 in Greer's Ferry Lake, Arkansas.

What I can't find is the length of the fish.....

Anyone else know?

Nothing to see here folks, just move along.

I read somewhere that the 25lb walleye caught somewhere in Tennessee, (which is recognized by some but has since been disputed) had a length of 42".

Still can't find the length on this 22lber

That's a really fascinating read! Cool story.

Ya know', it's not uncommon to see 13, 14, and even 15 lb. + eyes in the Red River of the North up by Selkirk.

I even heard, but can't verify, that right after we left there a few years back, someone boated a new Manitoba provincial record from the area we were fishing. The fish was said to weigh 20 lbs.!

I can't even imagine.

I would love to see an eye that size

ya the world record was caught in tennesse in 1960 on old hickory

That record in TN was debunked and the current record is the 22 plus that came from Greers Ferry.The Greers Ferry fish was 35inches long and girth was 26 and a hlf.

My wife and I have been talking about retiring to Arkansas for a few years now. When the time comes. All I need is a bunch of good walleye fisherman moving in on my winter grounds.

I think I first saw that fish in an In-Fisherman magizine in the 80's. It was a fat and I mean pig.
