It's 20.32 and will be the new record.
In what class? 20.32# doesn't even make WA's top weight. Maybe length :dunno: It's a dandy though, for sure.

WA state record is 19.33# caught by a good friend of ours.
To my knowledge this is the first 20# west of the Rockies

OK, guess my memory isn't so good. Maybe the one I was thinking of was booted because of salt water or disqualified in some way. :dunno: Either way, I apologies for that. Didn't mean to take away from such an awesome fish.

You're probably thinking of the Ed Iman fish that never actually existed.

Just plain broken the past few days. I've slept 14 of the past 24 hours. Guess the IRS audit had me more stressed than I thought. I think I could still sleep another 8 easy. Maybe I need to get out and do some fishing :chuckle:

I thought the record was bigger also & remember a 28lber caught in a net years ago in the Columbia.There was but net fishing does not count for records.

Looks like a Lake Washington walleye???? Correct me if I'm wrong???I know they've netted a few over the last decade, and a kid caught one off the dock at Coulon park a few years ago, but there is no fishable population of walleye in Lake Washington. I would love to be proven wrong on that, tho. Save me a lot of gas money...
This new record is a Columbia River fish.

Lake Washington is a super sleeper fishery for the EYEs........ Seems the Columbia is over rated... One big fish is caught every once in a while and then the whole country is there fishing... Its just like the TRIPOD BURN buck... There's big eyes and bucks in lots of places...

The Columbia is home to a world-class walleye fishery, and certain sections of the river have long been known to pump out solid numbers of large fish every year. It's just that the fish under about 18#'s arent really newsworthy to the masses any more, and you have to be on your game to get one. The guys that can get big fish with regularity dont tend to advertise the fact. During this time of year you can fish those areas all weekend for a single bite - but odds are it will be impressive.
John knows the area he was fishing very well. I wouldnt even hazard a guess on how many 10#+ fish he's caught over the years in his spots. It is a lot though. He's put his time in and earned this fish. Couldn't be happier for him, and the state of Washington in general.

Record 20-Pound Walleye Caught in Washington State
While fishing the Columbia River last week a Washington angler landed a 20-pound, 5-ounce walleye to break the previous state record. Wildlife officials were quick to confirm the catch. A walleye weighing more than 20…

Great catch! Thanks you for saving the salmon and steelhead from that wolf of the water. :tup:Seriously huh!! Those salmon and steelhead are really taking a beatin in that Hanford reach area and the Wallula pool in general. Only a record run last year and a run of 50% more expected this year. Also, SAR's in the Yakima around 6%...
