    Even though I will get a bunch of guff for bringing it up again since i don’t have a pic but I got a 34″ 14lb walleye out of pool 2. Caught on a 10″ bullhead fishen for flatheads.

    I believe it.. plenty of food and places to hide in the miss, im sure there is a MN state record or 100 in there right now.

    By the time they get that old they know what a draggin jig and 3″ grub is… gotta use 10″ bullheads to trick them

    I’ve caught several 30″ walleye on pool 2 fishing for flatheads also. Biggest I’ve seen is 32″, lots from 27-30″. It takes the fun out of catching a fish like that when you are using 80lb braid, plus I’m sure there is some mortality when caught by catfishermen.

    This Walleye was claimed to be over the MN and WI state records, however it was caught in one of the rough fish gill nets out of pool 3 last spring. Fish was released after the picture lets hope she made it Sorry about the bad pic quality taken with older cell phone.

    Biggest I have seen out of P2 is 32″ but post spawn. Biggest I heard of was just over 32 in NOV at 14.25 lbs. Seen lots over 30-31. Most those big post spawns would have a hard time hitting 9 lbs. But in the fall they are pushing 12 lbs

    I got to touch a 33″ 13lb + fish on Pool 4 early one spring. Biggest eye I’ve seen. Couldn’t get my hand around the tail.

    I hate to be that guy but no way that fish was near the state record. nice eye but just not that size fish. We were down there last year when they had that asian carp in the net. Goofy looking SOB
