MOBRIDGE, S.D. (KFYR) - A South Dakota state record walleye was caught Friday on Lake Oahe south of Mobridge.

43-year-old Aaron Schuck of Bismarck caught the 16-pound 8-ounce fish using a Walleye Nations reaper crankbait.

He took it to Oahe Sunset Lodge to have it weighed.

A South Dakota Game and Fish biologist weighed it as well.


Georgine Chytka held the previous South Dakota record. She caught it at the Fort Randall Tailrace on the Missouri River in November 2002. It weighed 16 pounds, 2 ounces, and broke a then 23-year-old state record by nearly a pound.

“I was shocked. It was a long-time dream of mine. All I wanted to catch was a 14 pounder and now I have my name in the record books,” says Schuck.

A definite rod bender for sure! Even a 10lb walleye will make the avid fisherman stand up and say "whoa!"

I heard some weird stories about this fish. What I heard was he took it to Pollock to weigh it and couldn't get it weighed there, so he had it in Biz for 2 days and then brought it back to SD to officially weigh it.

Is there even a place in Pollack that you could weigh it? Not much in that town.
