    I was 13 years old when on oneida lake in upstate NY I landed a 30" eye from the shore. The scene was so much like this. Every fisherman gathering around and some taking photos and eventually us releasing it. I'm 34 years old now and that fish has been mentioned every year I've been alive since. Congrats on a lifetime fish catch 🎉🎉

    I'm stoked to see someone else releasing big walleye. Most local guys in my area would eat that fish no questions asked. I've caught 4 fish in the past 2 years over 30 inches from the Ohio including a 12 lb slob. I turned them all back in hopes that they will pass on those genetics another year or two before they wind up on someone's dinner plate! Good work! Awesome fish!

    BIG FEMALE, Those are pretty common here on the South Shore of Lake Erie this time of the yr. A buddy was out last Saturday night fishing off the rocks just west of the mouth of the Cuyahoga River in about 11 ft of water. And he hooked a 13 lb fish that was just a touch over 32 inches. He also put her back, He was just keeps smaller 21"-26" males after Halloween. But the Big Pigs are in the shallows feeding on anything that moves.

    That's crazy, Congratulations! The state record was caught just a few miles down the road from where I live just two years ago. It's crazy to see Walleye that big come from these waters like it's Minnesota or something. I've caught a couple probably in the 24 inch range over the years incidentally while fishing at night for smallmouth. But, judging by the amount I've caught by accident on them I think a 1/2 oz Spinnerbait is a good lure to throw especially in a lake setting. There are times I couldn't keep the eyes off long enough to catch a smallmouth. Awesome fish.

      Come to Lake Erie in the Fall and you'll catch so many of those that you'll get bored of doing it. Around her in the fall, We don't get excited untill it's over 34 inches and at least 13 lbs. And its not uncommon to see one of two of them in a night also the Big Rocks just west of the mouth of the Cuyahoga River. But you need to be in a boat to get to the better spots for those hogs. Where they are laying on the sand bar at the end if the wall.
