Don caught this walleye last night around 7 p.m. in the water just down from the house. (That's Noxon Rapids Reservoir.) He was out with his friend John Webb (formerly from Yakima, now living across the river from us) in John's boat. They caught several others too, plus a couple bass and some squawfish. But this was the biggest, needless to say.
Even having been raised on walleye in northern Minnesota, I've never seen one this size.
We ate the small ones for breakfast this morning, and are sharing this big guy with our friends Art and Kathy Hassan and Mike Schell tonight. Mike's over from Yakima for a few days to work on his own place out on Cherry Creek Road.
Don says this is the biggest freshwater fish he's ever caught.
