I didn't measure it, but I caught a 12lb walleye already. I've been trying for a 40" pike all my life, my biggest is only 39". :(
A buck will see you three times, and hear you twice, but he's only gonna smell you once.

Walleye.

I can back him up on this too! I was there, I took the picture...It put up a big fight, I didn't think he was gonna be able to get him in....We didn't put the tape measure to it, but I'm thinking just shy of 30 inches.....Congrats again on your trophy.... 8-) Oh yeah tell everyone how your daughter out fished us all.... :lol:

You forgot to mention... I released that trophy so someone else can also catch a monster!
I posted Alyssa's pic with her bass in the fishing section.
