Eyes back west?

[itsbob]

Yeah 38" would be a freak fish for sure.Think longest eye I've ever read about was 34" and that is extremely rare.If looking for walleye west of the islands now, would try casting the reefs.The walleye usually start feeding on the rocks the 3rd week of September but that date varies.We caught a couple walleye casting last week on gull Island reef and missed 2 other fish.Was going to try some other reefs on east side of Pelee,but the bugs were too bad for John so headed east to troll.Found fish on the line from 40/31 to 40/26 deep.Caught limit on dipsies 3 @ 90 and 95; 1@ 70,75 and 80 using
J7s.

they do get 38" but that is huge fish and rare. I just imagine the 16# or larger might get to that length. he might have had a new state record. The largest I have seen is 33" which my youngest son caught about 15 years ago out of Geneva Ohio. we caught a few large fish that trip but his 33" was the largest fish caught on my boat in the 45+ years I've been fishing Erie.
