No, I'm waiting for the kids to get a little bigger. I can't handle more than the 3 or 4 river tourneys for now. My dad fishes the banks and potholes tourneys every once in a while.

Will the state record be broke this year??  I think it will..Came close last year. 
Title: Re: Walleye
Post by: Bone_Collector on January 24, 2013, 08:02:38 AM
I have seen a lot of big fish down on the big C so it would not surprise me to see a new state record! I love catching those tasty buggers! They dont fight much not even the big ones but they sure do taste good!

I caught some on Lake Pend Orielle last summer.  Damn fine eating!  I really wish we had some in Riffe or Mayfield lakes.

I think the possibility is real strong!

It could likely be by the same guy though…
Title: Re: Walleye
Post by: Skillet on January 25, 2013, 07:16:52 AM
There's probably about 10 guys I know of that are very likely contenders to pick up the new record - they put the hours on the water in the areas that hold the biggun's.  There's probably 20 more I don't now about that have the same chance.
Anybody with a boat has a "puncher's chance", though!  That 20#+ fish is out there, swimming in that river, right now.
Title: Re: Walleye
Post by: plugger on January 25, 2013, 06:42:50 PM
With the amount of guys trying, its bound to happen. The only draw back is I heard that quite a few of those big girls die getting them weighed. I dont know that for a fact, just heard it. But every one thats close that doesnt make it is one less that could have got the lob done the next year.

It was 1 month ago. It was 13 walleye and 42 perch. You weren’t there which is evident by the number of fish caught. :chuckle:

You sir, apparently don’t want to come over and eat any.

How many did you put me on when we took your boat?

there may be a walleye club in Walla Walla?? there's one in Tri-Cities. They can be educational for the beginner. Also try Northwestwalleye.com

You live fairly close to where the current, and likely next, Washington state record walleye will be caught.  If I was you, I'd be getting on the Big C pretty soon and play "follow the white Lund."
