My biggest was 65 cm and ate him because he had a heart attack or something (fattest fish I have ever caught) and didn't recover enough to even swim away after being caught.

Cooked him up and was fine. My favourite for walleye is the ~4 lb range but even bigger walleye would taste fine I think.

Too bad you can't keep many of the few you can find out here in Alberta. At least I was able to get back to Sask and catch a few this year.

Answered your own statement :)

[RavYak]

Answered your own statement :)

Meh, there are enough in Pigeon and NSR and even St. Anne by the sounds of it to let a person keep at least one. Sure it would thin their numbers back a little bit more but some of these lakes could use that since they are just over populated and scrawny... Nice thing about Walleye is that they are difficult enough to catch that they will keep on surviving even with some more fishing pressure. Just won't be able to expect 10+ fish a day like you can at some of these places right now.

[Lefty-Canuck]

To let "A" person keep one yes :)....but you open only 3 lakes like that across the province and you think free-fishing weekend is busy.....would be like that every weekend.

[Darren N]

Nice one!. Your heart must of been beating when you got it up close.

[valley13]

:sHa_shakeshout:nice!

[sniderscott]

Lucky fish! I mean.. lucky you!

[Lefty-Canuck]

Lucky fish! I mean.. lucky you!

You want FisherGrrrl to grab you by the tail and offer a hand of support under your belly?.....:)

.....good handling technique and a beauty fish by the way FG!

LC :)

[FisherGrrrl]

That actually does sound like a great time. Have never had that done before. Btw, how did you know I have a tail?

[Iceman4]

Beautiful walleye! I don't know many people who have caught one 10+ lbs

[Fort fisherman]

That beats my pb also... congrats! :)

[Garry B]

Id put em back and let them get bigger for a round 2 battle

Congratulations on the super nice walleye! We need lots more of this attitude. Good on ya FisherGrrrl!

[lolanr]

Great fish! It's nice to see some other women out there catching some big fish!

Hey Button Girl!!
Pic looks alot better than the one you showed me on your phone..
Nice job!! :character0053:
This past weekend I caught under 70cm that were close to 10# so from my experience at Tobin, I would put him pushing 13# at 78cm.
Largest caught this weekend at Vanity was 15.15#. That is what keeps you going back.

[tight line]

Nice walley! Congrats

[NSR Monger]

caught a 75cm last week and another 75-80cm again this week, those should weigh around 10lbs?!?!

[Dust1n]

I must have missed this going down the list! What a fish and an awesome photo!

[bsnyder]

Good job , there is nothing like Liny Fishing for big Walleyes.At Tobin we only use 6pd test and a #10 or smaller hook.Thats what the bigguns want ,sure a challenge bringing them in.Have to chase them with the motor sometimes.:)

[AppleJax]

Good job FisherGrrrl! You should come do some night fishing on the river soon, the walleye have been hitting hard!:)

[bobalong]

Nice fish and a great fishery, I got my PB at a little over 11 lbs, back in 1995 at Tobin. Beautiful place in the fall, and every bite could be your fish of a lifetime.

[OneGirlWolfPack]

That's awesome! Way to go! :sHa_shakeshout:

[Speckle55]

Grats very nice eye !!! jealous here . well worth the trip hey:sHa_shakeshout:

Thats the exact set up I was given this weekend. :) Mine we didnt have to chase though. It went right under the boat and I had to pull him straight up

[FisherGrrrl]

Thats what ive heard AJ! Wont be able to come though unless its still good after October 16th.. Im leaving for Chilliwack Thursday morning.. gotta go catch my own salmon to smoke since you never brought me some of yours :p

I'm definately going back!

[New Hunter Okotoks]

Very nice fish.

Many people will fish Walleye their whole lives and not catch one than big. Congrats and thanks for sharing.

NHO.

[slivers86]

nice fish :)

Wayne's losing sleep over this.... damn redneck

[waterninja]

was wondering when you were going to post another one of your exploits. thats one big wallie. congrats and good luck in b.c.

[Teamprotz]

Tobin is tough to go by length. 78cm could range 3-4lbs depending on girth. Not a huge fish girth wise, but should definitely be over 10 ! My 14.2 on the weekend was 81cm , but was 6 inches across the back and really deep. Chased her with the electric on 70% and was still losing line !

[FisherGrrrl]

caught a 75cm last week and another 75-80cm again this week, those should weigh around 10lbs?!?!

not necessarily, like teamprotz said "tough to go by length. 78cm could range 3-4lbs depending on girth. Not a huge fish girth wise, but should definitely be over 10"

3-4lbs is quite a difference and Tobin lake averages pretty girthy fish.

but hey Im no walleye expert :P

[THERICARDO]

Beuatiful fish, congrats

[NSR Monger]

Welcome to the 10 pound plus club trophy size from any body of water.

you welcome her as if you are the leader :sHa_shakeshout:

It'll be good from now til there's icebergs floating down the river...then we chase stupid little trout until Wab's solid enough to fish :cool:

You'll have to come out and catch some big ones with us on the early ice Jay...:cool:

[Teamprotz]

At least you have a picture ! We never take a camera during tournaments. Many 12-13lb fish and now my best at 14.2lbs , no pics. On the weekend , 73cm fish weighed as little as 6.7lbs.
