| I haven't read too many of these threads, so forgive me if I am rehashing a topic that's been discussed at length. I'm just curious about what the biggest (longest and heaviest) walleyes many of you have caught in your time (or seen caught). I got my biggest at Alice Lake in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness last July, trolling a deep diving, fire tiger size 9 Rapala (shad rap) behind my kayak. It was 33" long, and based on some calculators I found online it probably weighed 13.5 lbs. It didn't fight much but bent my hooks up. It was caught in no more than 30' of water, kind of in the wide open. I was heading towards a rock face to troll it for pike and was about 100 yards offshore. Funny thing is, I had only caught about 20 other walleye prior to this in my lifetime. I would rather have caught the biggest pike I've ever seen (that went for my buzzbait) in the Boundary Waters...no joke, it was 50" +/- 3"! |

Location: Flat Rock | Personal best C&R was a 39" northern caught in the black lagoon last season (and they said nothing could live their due to the toxin level), got em on a pearl/white spinner bait. Best C&R bass was 20" caught on a black buzzbait. Best C&K eye was caught this summer jigging weed patches out in Erie, 4-6 FOW. She was 29-31"L & weighed 8lbs.

Location: Rhinelander | My longest 'eye is 31", and weighed about 10#. Believe it or not, I also got that one fishing toothy critters this summer. I had just boated a 43" pike on a Weagle a couple casts before; that's the lure the big walleye hit. I had a 29.5 and a couple 29's on Suicks that week, too. We did also catch a bubdle of nice walleyes on jigs, too. The fish were very shallow, in 2' of water if the light was low, and 4' if not, so we caught walleyes, muskies, and pike using all my favorite Wabigoon Lake techniques.
Here's a picture of the Weagle; it's the bottom bait. I doubt anyone here will rush of to the store to add THIS one to the walleye tacklebox.
