Walleye,
Glad to see that you registered. Hope to see more posts from you.
I have to agree with Bob on this one, that your fish (which is a great fish) was not close to eight pounds. I'd estimate close to what Bob did - 6 pounds.
It just doesn't add up from the trusted, well established formulas. I have not landed an eight pound walleye but have seen one and Bob has caught one. Sorry, your fish was not eight pounds. Don't let that take away from a great catch though. Next time bring a credible scale or get the girth measurement.
What general area did you catch him in? Was it the Fox?
