Title: Can't believe what I did.
Post by: JJD on April 21, 2016, 10:40:39 AM: Was on Rufus Woods Tue. Landed the biggest walleye I have tangled with to date. Great looking female full of eggs, Measured her out and put her back in the water immediately. As I watched her swim away my fishing partner says, "ya know what we forgot" I say, "No what did we forget"? He says, "to take a picture". I look back into the water and beg her to come back as I only wanted to take her picture! DOH! :bash:

Congrats! What were the measurements?

Just a hair under 27" did not measure girth. Most charts say she should have weighed in at somewhere around 7 lbs
No picture it didn't happen, If so, best dream I've had in a while. :)
