On Sacandaga...Seen about 29/30 inch. Close to 10lbs. Ice fishermen. He was going to eat it, talked him into putting it on the wall. Would have tried to talk him into releasing if I had been there when he caught. It was his FIRST time fishing the lake.
                        Caught 26 1/2". Some years ago....h2l

I’m going to guess he’s either very mistaken on length. Or it was a northern pike and he doesn’t know his fish very well

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

you watch that video  then look at harpers supposed 41 incher and  I just don't believe that picture is a 41 inch fish
Now that's funny

Just checked in fisherman weight conversation for walleye, only goes up to 34 inches and said they would be around 16.91 lbs
So.......
The current NYS record walleye was caught in may out of the st. Lawrence.. measured 33" weighed 18.2 lbs by Brian hartman had a 21" girth.. so... If it was a 40" walleye.... it wouldve made lots of news

and weighed 11.57 lbs
