Location: Chisholm, MN		I gotta say, I've been fishing Lake of the Woods and other big fish lakes in search of a 30 inch walleye and the best I can come up with is 29.75! Great job! I am supper jealous. I'm going up there tomorrow for the day to try again. Gotta be back in time to see the Vikes dominate the Packers though

You and me both bud! I've been fishing for that fish for 25 yrs on all the great walleye waters ...LOTW, Rainy, Miller Lacs, Leech, Red, St Louis river....best I could ever come up with is 27.5"!

Here's the cool part of the story: so were sitting there and its about 515 pm, and if ya know LOTW, there isn't much of a night bite. So were playing cards n having a drink when I look over at my vexilar and are a large mark suspended 15' down over 30' of water. I grabbed my rod and brought the jig up to the mark and smack, I set and miss, I could feel that I lost my minnow so I tell her to grab her jig rod and drop it down as I'm keeping this "mark" interested with my bare jig. So as she drops her bait down I crank mine up. Couple twitches later and whack! 30.5" pig of a walleye.

Super happy for her but us it stings a little

Nothing better than when your significant other is smiling with the big fish of the trip.

VERY NICE!

Great fish. Family member moved to International Falls last year and got invited to ice fish by a co-worker. He said they didn't get anything but fished in shirt sleeves, while watching a 40 inch flat screen. He said that is pretty common on Rainy Lake. Some even have a bar built into the fish house.

Awesome fish. I have only caught one walleye in my life and it was a good one 28.25. I actually ate that fish (foul hooked/bad release). I caught it by accident trolling for musky, 8lb walleye vs 80 lb braid and calcutta wasn't much of a challenge. Kinda felt like a boot.
