Just about everybody knows the state record walleye is 18 pounds. But in light of this conversation, I wanted to see how long it was. Lo and behold, there is no length listed for the Wisconsin State Record walleye! It was caught in 1933 out of High Lake in Vilas County. I'm pretty sure they had tape measures back then. And yes Blue, that's even before my time! Here's the link. Kinda fun to wander through these records.

If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.
