That's a chunky wallace right there. Nice lookin' mount to boot.

Packfan:

What lake or river was the walleye caught from?

It was caught on Oct. 1st 2006 at Salmon Falls. I believe the gentleman's name was Mark Able or something like that. You can go to the Idaho site and get more info on the story. I thought it was a beautiful fish and to see it up close while Dan was mounting it was great. He actually didn't have it quite finished when I took the picture. He had a nice plaque printed below the body mounted on the base. I think it beat the old record by more than a pound. It makes my 30 inch 11 pounder look small.[cool]

Thanks for the info PACKFAN and CROSSINEYES. That is one bee-you-tee-full fish! Makes my 7.25 LB walleye that I caught out of WB in 1981 look like a minnow.
