That’s a beauty for sure. Must be from down south since the ones up here in McMurray look slightly different...

New Alberta World Record Walleye
Sauger 100%. No white spot on the tail.
Must be a real big lake. Can’t even see the shore.
Beauty!

Must be from the N Sask East of Edmonton. Lots of food to chew on.

Makes sense. Probably the big one I had on upriver of town at the Cascades a few years ago. Poor 10lb test had no chance. Big female was probably back out in the lake to spawn. I hear they do that this time of year.

Since we're talking about new record book fish I might as well share the speckled trout we caught last week in hermitage trout pond in Edmonton.

I hooked into this big common sucker on a size 12 royal coachman fly last week in Whitemud creek in Edmonton but he got off.

Would have probably broken the perch record but it broke my line and stole my favourite Russian hook. Guess I better start changing my line every season least my buddy snapped a picture as it surfaced and I’ve got some sort of prof so it’s not some fish story.

Hold on, give me time to fire up the skid steer!
If these fish stories continue I can’t possibly keep up just shovelling...

What can i say? Got him in a really, really, really big lake. 
Superb fighting animal, can certainly feel a thing like that on the end of your line! Nobody whines about hitting a thing like that over the head, and such a fine frying fish! One of the very best white flesh fishes, certainly better than halibut!
Had us a fine time...
See??? I came clean!

Good thing they're using barbless hooks Moose. They don't hurt so much when you get hooked!

I prefer Lings to Halibut myself. I usually let anything over 20lbs go since the texture gets corse and the meat is softer. Plus, the big Lings are all your females and it takes quite a few years for them to get to be spawners. I say “usually” because the odd big one still gets bonked. I had my wife’s grandfather out a few years back and got one that weighed 35lbs. I suggested letting it go but I could see pretty quickly that wasn’t going to happen.
We used to get them regularly between 30 and 50 pounds with the largest being a weighed 70lbs.

Yup. Can’t beat a ling under about 20 pounds, but I wouldn’t turn up my nose at that red snapper there either.
Give me a ten pound snapper and a pound of butter, and I’ll guarantee you back away from the table happy.
In my books, salmon are over rated. They’re fun to catch, and fine in cans on the shelf in Costco, but there’s far better fish for eating fresh.
