Best Walleye So Far This Year

[Hotdawg Guide Service]

The bite from the big walleye's is finally started on the lower lake!! I caught this one Sunday afternoon in 26 feet of water on a nightcrawler dragging the bottom in 26 feet of water. We caught 17 more with 5 keepers and six other species of fish caught in a half day of fishing. The lake level is rising due to heavy rain this morning and more predicted all this week the bite for all species is really getting strong and should last now for at least a month and a half or more. GOD Bless Hotdawg!!

Nice fish. What was its length. What is the BS walleye record and could it be broken in the next few years.

The current BS record Walleye is actually the Missouri State record and it was a 21.1 pounder. Records are made to be broken, and I am confident that it could be broken in the next few years. The amount of folks fishing specifically for Walleye on Bull Shoals is only going to increase, hence the chances for a new record will increase as well. Walleye were introduced to these lakes in the late 40's and the record was caught in 1988 so I would say we are due up for a new record!!!

Not to nit-pic mrgungho, but the lakes weren't here in the late 40's.....But, they are lakes here now and more walleyes then ever before, so.......go catch that record !!

Other than state record fish, there are no records kept for fish size on Corp or Eng. impoundments.

29 1/2 inches I believe that we can break the world record on our lake especially if they would stop spearfishing!

Actually they were started before world war 2 and then stopped and started in 1946 and completed in 1952 so technically they were here.
