Walleye was 27 inches long, 16 5/8 girth, and it weighed 8lb 6oz.
We started the morning fishing in Bullfrog Bay. We graphed fish in the same general places we caught hundreds of stripers last year, but no takers anywhere. After trying for stripers around Bullfrog we decided to head for Hanson Canyon in early afternoon. Dropped white jigging spoons on a school we saw on the graph at about 65 feet, picked up one striper, broke another off and had a few more bites, but we lost the school and that was it. After a couple of hours we headed for Moki. Ryan's first cast (with a Lucky Craft Pointer, perch color) on a rock pile in the back of the canyon produced the 8 lb. walleye -- an absolutely beautiful fish. After a few more casts we decided we needed to head back. Late in the day, the Park Service rangers at the ANS checking station went out of their way to connect us up with the lady who managed the Bullfrog post office, who also went out of her way to weigh it for us. I can't say enough about how we much we appreciated their extra effort. We also picked up a few largemouths shallow over the course of the day.
