Alright what's your biggest wallywacker.  I have lots of pet names for these fish cause they are my absolute favorite fish of all time since I was about 6 years old.  They just intrigue me for some reason and I guess everybody has to have a favorite something.  My largest walleye was 12lbs from the lower Oswego river a big old harbor eye.  How bout you???  Remember no fish stories here please just the facts man just the facts!!!
31 inches.  my first eye ever.  caught it by sight, jigging off a dock on the st claire river.  i was using one of those propeller jigs, green, with a piece of nightcrawler on it, he was resting in the current behind a piling.  just put it right in his face, and he took it so light, i never even woulda known a fish hit

Biggest was 28", approx 8lbs.  caught in 4ft of water on a jig and salty....no net, so I landed it in the only thing I had in the boat....a plastic bag.  GF was in the boat, she was soiling her self (way to big for her) :).

WOW, nice fish guys. NY's got some awesome eyes.

My biggest monster was a 22" 4lb fish through the ice in VT.  The fish here make it look like a minnow.  :D

Hoping to get a monster this winter through the ice on Champlain, or maybe on the Oswego  in May...

Keep up the good work guys...

My personal best eye is 6 + pounds, don't knwo the weight as it turned into fillet's and then went into the freezer.     But as for my actual actual Rod and reel?    2 pounds maybe?   

I know of a river that holds 15 pound hens come spring so I might have an update, at that point

20 " out of Saratoga Lake 2 weeks ago. Im new to ice fishing.

Lost a 24" walleye.

How do I know?

My buddy caught it an hour later and when he filleted it the hook and bait I was using was in it. Some how my improved cinch knot let loose. Now I take extra time to tie my knots. I knew it was a good size fish when I had it hooked for a minute. Live and learn.

Biggest 'eye was 25 inches while I was ice fishing. I've only caught one open water sadly and it was a whopping 16.5". :'(

Trolling for walleyes has to be the most overated "fishing" experience. I've trolled for them, and caught them, and its like dragging in plastic bag. I'm not a fan. Not criticising, just making a statment of my own opinion.

I look at trolling as a good way to put meat in the boat, and use it only as a last resort...Personally I would rather do pretty much anything else...

Yup, pretty much what I was saying...good way to harvest some fish, horrible way to catch them.
