My biggest walleye "was" 24 inches, this one tonight was 25 inches! I will beat Art's 31" if I have to do it an inch at a time! It was decent for us tonight but the fella in the shanty next to us was doing excellent! I started out trying a new lure that was gold colored and only got one little one so after awhile I went back to my trusty pink jig and this was the 2nd one I got. Ice thickness in the bay is at a foot and the river is about 7 inches.
