    Running today on other social media.

    Time will tell if it’s legit, but it looks possible.

    This fish was brought into 65 Bait and Tackle…

    Oh it’s legit. Two twin young men that are passionate outdoorsman and fun to fish with. They weighed the fish a day after. I would guess that fish was a legit 15lbs when it was fresh out of the ice hole. Those guys throw many big fish back. I’m glad he’s mounting it.

    Whoa! That has to be one of the biggest walleyes caught in MN in several years. That girth is ridiculous! Congrats to those anglers.

    Man he looks familiar. Awesome fish. I know some of those lakes do kick out a 30+ fish once in a while. Find the right female and it’ll look like that. Wow!

    how much longer would that fish had lived if it would have kicked off down the hole? What is the life span of a walleye?

    Most likely would’ve lived, until it died….

    It’s legit. Both of them (Hunter and Tanner B.) are friends with my brother. Been trying to fish them for a while but they are too keen on visitors

    Wow, what a fish. Congrats to the anglers. Sounds like they did their homework and it paid off in a big way. Gotta give them kudos for trying to release her.
