smokerscully1 16 Report post Posted March 7, 2011 Anyone hear about a 19lb walleye coming outta Black Bay this past weekend? I've heard it from 2 different sources. Not sure if it was catch and release or kept under treaty rights. I know guys have been catching perch out there but thats a hell of a fish! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brookiebuster 117 Report post Posted March 8, 2011 Biggest walleye I have seen live was 12lbs,19 would be a decent fish.I wonder who the author of that story is hahaha. Quote "Whack em' and stack em',kill em' and grill em'" Ted Nugent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Munshaw Report post Posted March 8, 2011 That would eclipse the biggest walleye I've heard of in NW Ontario by about 5 lb. I just looked it up, it would beat the C&R world record by 7 oz. No doubt there's some big fish in Black Bay, but I'm calling bluff someone let a fish that big go. Pics or it didn't happen. Edit: actually if they were fishing where most people are fishing, I believe its a walleye sanctuary and they would have to let it go. Even still - seems doubtful. It should be highly documented if it were true. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck 19 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 While fishing for salmon I hooked and released a walleye that was 31 in long with a 22 in girth I didn"t have a scale but did the calculations and it was just shy off 17 lbs I believe it was there eating pink salmon A nice slippery meal to put the pounds on I don"t doubt a 19 lber could be swimmin around pictures would be nice though Quote Git "er done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
