Walleye's were not caught over the "line". I think that 2nd photo may have been taken off the island near the fork in the river.

That spot looks familiar with the white building on the shoreline. Great sturg spot.

One morning in 4 hours, 3 of us caught 26 sturgeon and my PB of 63". Numerous over 50.

It was 65", but I put her back without measuring the girth, the last time that will happen!

That fish is 80 pounds! if not more. we just got back from rainy yesterday. I was fortunate to boat a 64 inch fish with similar proportions. and it bottomed out the boga grip (fish was weighed in the net) The boga goes to 60 lbs and it wasnt even close! The fish carried a 27 1/2" girth. my guess would be a 75 pound fish. will post pics when they are emailed to me. Awesome fish, did your wife catch that fish? Without question that fish is in excess of 80 pounds! Funny how we were one of only three boats fishing sturgeon............why? dont people get enough walleyes all winter?? haha

By those measurements I would put it around 70lbs according to the DNR's length/girth chart. Age wise probably 40-42 years old. NICE FISH fo sho!

Yup, my wife caught that fish, she usually out fishes me whenever we fish together, thats why I call it "guiding" when we fish together.

Truly Trophy Walleyes from the Trophy Waters of Rainey River. This River is just Awesome. Year after year producing Walleyes like this. And other monster fish. The Lake of the Woods is one Large Walleye producing factory. Its amazing the monster fish that comes out of this Lake and goes into both Rivers. I've seen this for 30 years.

Congratts on all your Beautiful Trophies...

there is a couple 26's a 27 and a 28 i think. now onto my prize. thought i had a massive walleye on. it was about 28-30 inches and i think it is a whitefish but not sure. never caught one up there before. i assume thats a big size for whatever it might of been.

Darn nice Whitefish you got there man!

See them come thru the ice on the lake quite regular like that. Rather uncommon to get them in the river/open water. I've fished the Rainy since the 70's and have never pulled one that I remember. I get a few Mooneyes now and then though!

Here is a 67" x 30" the girfriend caught. It took everything I had to carefully lift it horizontally while it twisted just to get a shot of its sheer size as it went back into the water. I soiled my pants about two seconds after this picture was taken. laugh

Here is the same fish I set in her lap for a quick pic.
