WHAT IS A BIG WALLEYEĪ big fish is relative to it’s location. Yes there are some transplants in states like Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia and even Texas, but for the most part when people talk walleye fishing, they are talking Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Michigan, Ohio, New York, etc. While their distribution has expanded some, and 44 states actually have walleye state records, they are mostly a northern tier fish in North America from about Ohio north. That makes them very popular with anglers. Walleyes are a unique type of sport fish and some of the best table fare you can eat.

Then they ended up catching the biggest walleye ever in that state and on at least one or two rare occasions, the world record walleye. I imagine most folks that broke the state record for walleye just hoped they chose the best walleye lures and would catch some.

It’s spring, and that means walleye and walleye fishermen are starting to get after it, many in the hopes of walleye fishing for their biggest fish ever in the prespawn.
