With all the giant walleye being caught in the Columbia River, it was bound that the state record was going to get broken.
That was the case when John Grubenhoff of Pasco landed a new state record 20.32 pound walleye on Feb. 28 2014 in McNary Pool
The walleye measuring 35.50 inches long with a girth of 22.75 inches was caught by Grubenhoff while trolling in 22 feet of water upstream along a current break at 0.8 mph using a Rapala J-13 lure six feet behind a two-ounce “bottom walker” weight.
The huge walleye confirmed by state Fish and Wildlife beat out the old record of 19.3 pound that measured 33.7 inches with a birth of 22.2 inches, and was also caught in McNary Pool by Mike Hepper of Richland on Feb. 5, 2007. The Oregon state record of 19.15 pounds was caught in 1990 in the Columbia.

Most think he was bullshitting about the crank deal just to get rapala involved. Hard to make any money off a spinner! Ha ha

What color J-13? Imagine how big it would have been, if it had been a dirtymike orange tiger J-13.
