???What’s The BIGGEST Walleye You’ve Caught???

Well I just thought a Biggest fish thread would be pretty cool so I thought I’d put it up. Pics are encouraged if ya got them….

My biggest WALLEYE is a 30.1 inch beauty outta Canada where yes… it’s on my wall

i think you meant caught but anyways mine is a 12.6 pound illinois river walleye at starved rock state park (home sweet home) caught on a black jighead with a yellow mister twister! and no she is not on my wall! this thread should get fun in a hurry

Hey Molitor,

Welcome to IDO buddy!! I’ve caught and released 3 right at 31.5 inches. Knocking on the door for 32!!

Several beautiful 27-30″ Eyes from P-4 up to 11.7 lbs but my biggest is a 32.25″…11.9 lbs caught on a jig/minnow on the Pine River in northern WI. ten years ago.

Here are pics of some my P-4 best from March/April 2008. Two pitching 3/16 blades, two on Pumpkin/Chart tail Ringies…thanks to Deans tutelage!

Mille Lacs Night Bite Eyes 2006

30.25″

29″

Both were released

30″ 10lbs on March 4 1999 at 2:30 am from shore at the damn in Genoa. It was my birthday on the night of the the third and we had a nice fire going. I was just about as drunk as it gets and thinking about calling it a night, when the rod was almost tugged right out of my hand by that beauty. It was the only thing caught all night, except for a buzz of course. There was a nice picture at Ghelfi’s sports shop in De Soto WI. I am not sure if they still have it around though.

27.75 inch 10.5 pound p-4 piggy walleye best day of my life

I just got mine tonight!!!! 28 1/8″ pictures to come…..

The biggest Walleye I have caught is a 32 incher at the Missouri River at Chamberlain, South Dakota. I think I was 13 years old and its on my wall. I have caught many 27-30 inchers throughout the last five years also.

The two biggest fish caught in our family were caught last year in Canada. The first is the one my 8 year old caught. 26″ beauty. I followed him later that afternoon with a 26.5″.. …that day will be remembered for a very long time..

I have fished long and hard and finally put the 31″ in the boat this summer!!! She was a pig with a huge head. I normally let all my fish over 20 go but it was my first over 30 so now if I get one bigger than 31″ I will replicate

Caught on a tip-up with a 4 1/2 inch shiner. in 10 ft of water towards dusk. Only eye in the lake I think. I’ve fished this lake a ton and talked to many others who claim to have never caught a walleye out of there and it’s a small lake to boot. 27 inch. 8lb 2oz and still swimming I hope. I plan to break that record a few times this spring, now that I’m targeting eyes more than I used too.

13.5 lake erie, 10.8 wi. river

31 incher caught from the Wisconsin River.

This 31 incher came from near the Stone Quarry in Sturgeon Bay, Door county, Wisconsin.

28.5 inch 10 lb 2 oz from the fox river last spring

My best was a 32 incher. Got her in StPaul fishing from shore on Ross Island. The cast before I got her ended up in a snag, so I thought it was the same deal until the head shook. Got her with a 1/8th oz gumball and a sassy shad. She weighed in at 11.5 lbs. Dont know if Ill ever top that one…

Winter – 29.5″ 8.5lb fish on Mille Lacs (won the IDO walleye contest that season)

Open water – 31″ Rainy Riv pig fat and full of eggs…..never weighed it?????….maybe a touch shy of 12 lbs.

Fishing with Daze I had a 14 pounder break my line, at least that’s what he said it weighed.

my biggest walleye.. and then looks at the photos on this thread…

never mind..

congrats guys those are some very impressive fish.

32+” 12.37lbs. on a Berkley hand held scale. Caught it on Mille Lacs on Memorial day, 1999. Strangest thing was that she was still full of eggs. She was released. Can’t post a photograph. Didn’t have a digital back then.

30 incher caught on June 12, 2001 while fishing with my dad on Lake McConaughy here in Nebraska. I’ve had a bunch of others that were heavier but I just can’t break that 30 inch mark yet!! I’ll be heading to pool 4 the first week of April to try for a new PB!!

Opener 1995 Mille Lacs, 29.75″ and 9Lbs 4 oz.

My biggest goes all the way back to 1987, before measurements were popular, 12# 4 oz’s on Lake Sakakawea!

I have the mount so I guess I could measure it but it’s been drying for 22 years.

Got one just under 31 inches last spring on p4. Never got a weight on it! Some of you may have seen me catch it. My yellow lab jumped in and was trying to make a retrieve on it once it surfaced . I know several people said something to me about it while on the river that day and my guess is that one or more of you are on this site. I will try and find the picture of it on a cd. You can even see on the fish where he was trying to grab it

I have a bunch of 28-29″ fish over the past couple of years. Here are photos of a few of them. Don’t usually put a scale to them….just give ’em a smooch before sending them back down. These are a mix of P4 (daytime) and Mille Lacs (nighttime) fish.

Still looking for an honest 30″ walleye. Maybe this year

Looks like you’re like me Jason…only kiss the females!

I think 2005….got my PB a 27″. Next pass, next PB…28″. One was 7.5oz other was 8.2oz.

Somewhere around 11.25 weighed on a Berkley scale. Later found that the scale was weighing a quarter pound light for a 9 pound jug of water calibrated from the lab I worked in. Tried to get length, but fish flopped in while trying to line up on scale on my gunwale. Was going to release it anyway. Fish was caught in pool 4 in April of 2007 and appeared spawned out.

My largest 31″ from a hidden gem lake in northern MN back in 2000. Many in the 30″ range, but can’t hit 32″ yet..
