Don Mickel of Bemidji holds the 35.1-inch walleye he caught on the Rainy River. The fish probably was the state record but state regulations required that the fish be released. SUBMITTED Photo

I don't think it's that big
if his hand is 4"wide (avg.)
that fish is 29-31in at best
I'd say 9.5-12.0 at best
no where near the record
