J-Doc Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 We were all out on the lake yesterday and wc launched as I was changing props out. I went out for crappie and F&F was still toying with his striper fever condition and live bait. Sorry wc that I didn't hang around and chat more........I was on a mission with the prop tests. So as we were all loading up, wc comes in and said he caught a walleye but he couldn't find a tape. So I grabbed my ruler thinking it was long enough. It wasn't. Grabbed a tape measure and F&F grabbed a scale. A 25" walleye on the nose and about 6lbs. I tip my hat sir. Very nice fish! (the location of said fish was not mentioned to preserve the location and prevent a boat convention parking on the area slamming them with everything from dynamite to crawler harnesss) Need marine repair?

J-Doc Posted December 14, 2014 Author Posted December 14, 2014 It was a fat one too. Probably 8yrs old. Need marine repair? Send our own forum friend "fishinwrench" a message. He will treat you like family!!! I owe fishinwrench a lot of thanks. He has been a great mechanic with lots of patience!
rps Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 After 24 inches or so, a good approximation is each inch is a pound. Usually, mostly, on an average. Skinny and fat deviations exist. I have caught a 5 pound 27 inch fish. And the one 32.5 inch fish was closer to 14 than 13 pounds. A 25 inch fish that goes 6 pounds would be a chunky devil.
J-Doc Posted December 14, 2014 Author Posted December 14, 2014 Yes sir. I forgot the exact weight but it was 5lbs and some change so almost 6lbs. Why I said "about 6lbs" because it was close.

wc1063 Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Thank you, sir! That was the biggest walleye I've caught so far. In 25 fow trolling #7 flicker shad in black and silver.

Lance34 Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Congrats on the catch. The disclaimer statement makes me laugh. Good stuff
Sore Thumbs Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 My partner caught 2 nice keeper Walleye Sunday during tourney. At the mouth of Blackburn on those gravel points. He was throwing a white lucky craft jerkbait. I was throwing a new Jackall in a translucent blue color and they didn't want that color for some reason.
