Ohio River walleye
Ohio River walleye
A family friend, Nick Battista, caught this 27.75”, 7 lb. 14 oz. walleye on the Ohio River today near Weirton, WV. The big fish was caught on a 4” Keitech easy shiner using a 1/4 oz. Jig.

Yes, I believe he was fishing from the shore although he also uses a kayak. The fish was released and swam off strong. Estimated age is 10 years.

Nice "eye". It's always nice to see those big mamas sent back to produce some more!
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

Caught and released. Kudos to him. That fish is likely a female and will be able to produce many more offspring.
