Doooooooood,

That is a fantastic walleye and many kudos for putting that big breeder back.

I'd guess 13.5 to 14 if it looked as good in person as it does in the picture.

Outstanding!  :o

My step-dad has a 13.5 on the wall and this fish made that one look small! It was absolutely ridiculous the girth on her. I had a digital scale 2ft away but it was -27c plus windchill that morning and as soon as I lifted her for the pic all I could think about was getting her back ASAP!! 5 seconds tops for time out of water got a great pic and a memory that'll last forever!!  ;D

I'm assuming you got a 12" auger :wacko: :blink:. Awsome job.
There is nothing better than the smile on a childs face when they see the fish come up through the hole.

Great fish.   That would probably be a state record for many states here in the lower 48...
