my buddies were up at lake of the woods last week, and caught this walleye. it was just over 28" don't know what it weighed it went back in the lake after this photo.

Very nice fish, love to see fish that size go back, good job.

Nice!

Looks a lot different than a big Walleye from the Mississippi R. (the only place I ever see big 'Eyes). That one is almost Zander-like in appearance. Actually looks a lot like those big Lake Winnipeg Walleye. Just a different shape to them up there, kinda neat

Wow. Awesome fish

Beautiful fish! Love the hump on the head when they get that big.

That's the first thing I noticed. The big Mississippi River Walleyes I've seen didn't have that or it was less noticeable. I've gotten Miss' 'eyes to 30" and have seen a couple 14lbers caught and never really noticed that huge hump. They just seem like they get thick all the way through, maybe I'm just mis-remembering (been a while since I hit them hard), but I'm pretty those "southern" walleyes just look different.

you decide where your tripping yet this year. I think we're going to crooked, been to the fraser area the last 2 years wanna catch some smallies this year, although the walleye fishing on fraser is fantastic

That is a beautiful fish.

It looks nothing like a Lake Winnipeg greenback - those things have a different look altogether.

Wow, what a sow!

I see some split fins...she might have been in a landing net in the last year too.

C.P.R. baby!

My bad I've never seen one in person. I know the pictures I've seen look really different from any Walleye I've caught. But then so does this fish, I'll have to look at some greenback pics again. Local fish variation is always interesting. Either way it looks tons different than any Mississippi River Walleye I've ever seen.

luv it...c&r a fish that size........ok, i'm also thinking about the filets. Very glad those genetics are in the lake...I'm just hungry..

I still haven't caught one that size, congrats.

Healthy looking fish.

Lake of the Woods is a unbelievable fishery for walleyes and very big northern pike.
