"I caught this fish on a rock reef in about 20 feet of water using a bottom bouncer and spinner rig with a leech," said Luke Martin after he pulled a 32-inch, 11½-pound walleye from Lake of the Woods. .

"I couldn't believe my eyes when this huge walleye hit the net.

"I have caught a couple big walleye before and could tell that it was a big fish, but did not imagine it to be THAT big until I saw it.

"My previous biggest walleye was about 28 inches."
