Just checked in fisherman weight conversation for walleye, only goes up to 34 inches and said they would be around 16.91 lbs
So.......

Never let the truth get in the way of a good fish story.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

it's very possible he actually seen a 40 inch walleye  ,when I was fishing  a small lake in the Adirondacks a few months ago  we had camped along the shore  line ,early the  next morning I was casting I heard a load splashing and seen a  big foot with a 40 inch walleye in his teeth!  I was so stunned I didn't know what the heck to do ..... as I stood there the beast  slowly turned toward me and growled ...I was frozen ..... he then threw a paper bag at me and ran away with the fish......after a few minutes  and changing my pants I gathered the courage  to look  inside the bag  .... imagine my surprised at what I found .......a bag full of horse manure ......just like the rest of this story and any story about a 40 inch walleye ..... new York record 18.2 pounds, 32 inches long, 21 inch girth. Caught on 5/5/2018 by Brian Hartman

I saw a 40" walleye once, and then I woke up.   :D
On a realistic note I personally find it pretty hard to believe. But it sounds enticing haha

Best part it is the recorded record 🤪
 But i have noticed over many years that waking up from a dream sometimes things seem to be much bigger 🤪
