My new PB, and probably will be for awhile. Nearly 31" and the fattest walleye I have ever seen. Forgot the scale, any guess on weight? Caught it in 10-12', ripping the bait up and down through the water column. All of a sudden I went to rip, and all I felt was dead weight. Landed it solo, without a net. Was one of the most nerve racking moments ever. MH Varitas, Quantum Smoke, 14lb Suffix Elite.
