Lake Erie Walleye

[JackSprat]

My experience catching walleyes on the Juniata River has been limited to just legal fish that seldom weigh more than one or two pounds. I recently got my eyes opened to what great walleye fishing they have on Lake Erie. Two June tournaments showcased plenty of big fish during the weigh-ins. I saw a few that nearly reached the 12 pound mark.

The Walleye Challenge Tournament winning boat registered 54.45 pounds for the nine fish maximum allowed for a boat. Largest fish was 11.6 pounds. The following day, New Eastern Walleye Circuit Tournament winning team weighed 35.85 pounds. Largest fish was 9.47 pounds. On both days, Lake Erie was in a foul mood with 4-6 foot waves.
