New State record

[Captain Ahab]

Anybody know the length?

32.5 it said on the news

32.5"- news said it was snagged. Fake news i guess.

I'm the lucky angler who caught the new state record walleye! Official weight was 16lbs 9oz or 16.59 lbs. It was caught legally in the mouth and verified by witnesses. It was netted by a Sheriff's officer. I caught several fish today prior to catching the record. But, there are several being foul hooked too. It was caught on a white Northland jig and Moxi plastic bait.

Congratulations!! What a thrill, thanks for the video and the story.

P.S. I think you should be allowed to give all the jealous jerk-offs continuing to drone on about snagging, an Aluminum Fish-Whacker stroke between the blinkers.

#Pickacolor!

Shouldn't we all be talking about slot limits and the need to keep our lakes and rivers from being decimated by slob fishermen such as this dude? :::

That's a beautiful fish! They must have had a good net, and a good net man, the fins aren't all shredded to hell.

Wow, very nice fish! How long will this record last?

Original post on 4/12/18: "How long do you think the walleye record holds?? I think it will be short lived. There were a lot of Giants caught last year that were spawned out that probably would have beat her?? From the Mo. that is."

​

my answer on 4/12/18: "Agree. 1 year or less, basically this spring when they are full of eggs I guess then!!"

My answer 4/22/18: 1 year or less, basically this spring when they are full of eggs I guess then!!"

Could there still could be a bigger one cought in the mo or Dak this spring??

Yes, I am planning on doing that exact thing this afternoon! Have a good day.....

Years and years of a bullshit record now back to back record fish one year apart and only four and a half miles apart that's a hell of a thing right there! Congratulations Tom it's a hell of a fish.

Crazy that they were both caught in Bis/Man city limits....other than that i dont think its too surprising the record has been broken twice considering the current state of the fishery. This one may not stand for long either, but at the same time, 16.9 is going to be tough to top.

Anyone know what color moxi he was using? Probably all sold out in Bismarck by now.

The catch has already got the attention of multiple lure companies and even Jason Mitchell on social media!

 

[scrotcaster]

I have heard of this one and a 14Lb caught this spring.. has there been many more in the 10+ range caught this spring?

Vollmer: give Mr. Volk “King of Walleyes” title on his account? That would be awesome...

Or maybe, “Master of bait”

And that's a bit of a scary thought since two in two years is bad enough but three in short order will all but guarantee an absolute flood of out-of-town and most likely out-of-state fisherman into the area.
