    Walleye

    So I have attached two pictures of Walleye that are supposedly 7 and 8 Lbs respectively. I don't believe that these fish are as large as they say. Does anyone have any comments on this? I'm only interested as these where the two largest fish of the Derby. In my opinion they look like 3-4 Lbs tops.
