Thanks for the comments everyone. Appreciate it! I was actually very surprised that this walleye measured 31". When we caught it I knew it was a was a nice size fish, but after they have dropped their eggs they look so skinny that I was guessing it to be around 28 inches. We didn't get a weight on it, but I'm sure it was a couple pounds lighter than my previous PB that was 28.5" that I caught in February of 2025 that was pre-spawn. I just wish I could have seen what this one looked like a month ago! I wish you all the best, and itsbob, you deserve a nice trophy after fishing Erie for 50 years. I guess it makes me realize how fortunate we were to catch a walleye of this size. Blessings and be safe out there!
