Biggest walleye, so far...

With the early and warm spring, walleyes have not been found in their "usual" spring locations.  They are in transition from shorelines to the reefs and mid-lake humps.  Most are being caught jigging in 18 - 30 feet of water at the current time.

There have been a number of large walleyes caught.  The biggest so far this season is Ryne Simeone (Champaign, IL) with this 31 1/2 inch.

Biggest northern, so far...

If the face in the picture looks familiar, it is because Ryne Simeone has caught, not only the biggest walleye of the season, but also the biggest northern!  Pictured is his 41 inch fish.

Northerns are very active and are being caught in large quantities.  They are still in the weeds.  The "hot" lure is any spinnerbait with white blades.
