She's been on the rise for a while now and getting closer and closer to summer pool.. about another 10 ft and she'll be there. I'm guessing she'll be up there before April 1st.
Anyone see the picture or story of the big female walleye shocked in the Rez. I seen the pictures it is true the Nations' Walleye hatchery has her. They will strip the eggs and turn her loose again in the Rez. Oh how big was she just a half pound under NYS record 16.2 lbs. and 35" long. The hatchery is on the Red House road and is open to the public for all the non dis-believers to see the pictures and story. No April Fools joke! The real deal.
What happened
I released that fish......18 YEARS AGO!
A New York State DEC biologist explained that the Ohio River system walleye have different DNA than Great Lakes walleye and they result in larger growth length. If you want a state record walleye fish there before the spawn when the fish are full of eggs to weigh more. Also Chautauqua Lake has Ohio strain walleyes. The last three record walleyes are from Kinzua in the winter and spring.
