Made it out to pool 4 on Sunday and hooked up with this 13 pound monster on the first cast. Shatters my previous personal best of 10 pounds. She was the fattest walleye I have ever seen. 29.5 inches long with a girth that looked like she swallowed 2 basketballs. Ended up being the only bite for our boat, but it was worth it! She's still swimming to release those eggs!

WOW, thats one heck of a walleye! Congratulations on the sweet catch!!!!!

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

Heck I would have settled for the 10#er. That is a memory maker to say the least.
