Good grief what a monster,this time ft peck montana,18lbs....,details are sketchy but seen the pic,peck is well known for giant walleyes which are usually caught throughout the winter on tip-ups ft peck web-site has a 10lber club,everything over 10 lbs is listed,many walleyes 13-16 lbs posted.,local folks (usually ranchers killing time) are allowed 5 lines last time I checked so 3 or 4 guyz can tie up a good sized area like a trapline,this time open water.I'm jealous,ft peck trip and lake havasu been on my bucket list for too long,gotta make happen.

walleye that big,surely the angler didn't need to straight arm the beast,look how tiny his fingers look.

I fished with a old timer from nebraska one year as a amature angler during the old days of the P.W.T. interesting feller,crop duster by trade but loved his walleye fishing.he told me that the next world record walleye (25lbs still) will come from ft peck as he seen 37-38" walleyes at rowing station's on hell's creek back in the early 90's

Montana anglers have landed six new state record fish since last August. On May 10, Trevor Johnson of Helena added a seventh whopper to that list when he reeled in a nearly 3-foot-long walleye from Holter Lake near Helena. Johnson’s fish weighed in at 18.02 pounds on a certified scale, measured 32.25 inches in length, and 22 inches in girth. He caught the record-setting fish on a jig.
The previous state walleye record was set in 2007 with a 17.75-pound fish from Tiber Reservoir.
Other recent state record fish include a chinook salmon caught last August, a smallmouth bass in October, a yellow bullhead in December, a brown trout in February, a longnose sucker in March, and a largemouth bass in April.
With a total of 91 native and introduced fish species found in Montana, interest in fish records has increased in recent years. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks maintains the list of record fish, and it is available on FWP’s website at https://fwp.mt.gov/fish/anglingData/records
Anglers who think they caught a state record fish should keep the following things in mind:
· To prevent loss of weight, do not clean or freeze the fish. Keep the fish cool — preferably on ice.
· Take a picture of the fish.
· The fish must be weighed on a certified scale (found in grocery stores or hardware stores, etc.) and witnessed by a store employee or other observer. Obtain a weight receipt and an affidavit from the store personnel if no FWP official is present. Measure the length and girth. · Contact the nearest FWP office to have the fish positively identified by a fisheries biologist.
