Giant Saskatchewan Walleye Caught, Captured on Picture, Released
 
Regina, Saskatchewan – In recent age, Canada’s central prairie province has perhaps grown more gargantuan walleyes than any other region on top of earth. Beneath the surface on fisheries such as Tobin and Last Mountain lakes, liberal 12 to 15-pound fish eat the lures of anglers each season.
 
Whether Saskatchewan grows monsters, wintertime, it appears, may Be the time to catch them. On Tobin Lake, January 2005, Sacred Mariusz Zajac iced an enormous 18.3-pound walleye–an eventual world record in the Ice Fishing Rod and Reel, kept category.
Six years later, almost to the day, veteran angler Tim Geni slid another potential record-breaker onto the ice. This time, the fish was soundly free to bite and fight another day.
On January 5, Geni, a successful tournament angler and Last Mountain Lake expert from the nearby town of Wilcox, caught a 33-3/4-inch (86-cm) walleye with a robust 19-3/8-inch perimeter. Having trained a series of holes over a rock support with his 8-inch StrikeMaster Laser Mag auger, Geni began aggressively working a jigging spoon over 21-feet of water. At 9:30am, something big appeared on his MarCum flasher unit.

“I was ripping my spoon pretty aggressively,” says Geni, who has landed finished twenty walleyes in the 12 to 15-pound range from Saskatchewan waters. “A sharp snap, and so a pause and drop allows the spoon to flutter horizontally. It’s a really effective mode to trickster walleyes into your fishing area.
 
“When I proverb a tacky, bright red blow materialize on the blind of my MarCum LX-3, I immediately stopped rending the container, and just started giving it little twitches. Even though this fish was belly to bottom, my MarCum still was able to separate its summon from the structure. The unit’s target separation was so precise, in fact, that I was competent to guide the spoon rightly about her jaws. Almost immediately, I felt a thunk and had the fish crooked.”
Using wisplike 4-pound test fluorocarbon line, Geni expertly guided the fish to basically beneath his hole, at which element the enormity of its vastness exploit home. “When I saw her mammoth head swim by the bottom of the hole, it was game on,” Geni recounted. Gratitude to the handiwork of nearby friends Ron Ross and Ben Scherg, the freshwater animal rapidly found itself soundly in Geni’s gloved grip. And then it found itself back and swimming within Final Mountain’s frozen waters.
“These big fish are way too special to kill,” Geni emphasized. “I awareness really good that she’s back and healthy in the water. Catching a pending world story is awesome, but knowing it’s still live down there–that’s even better.”
While waiting for approving from the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame, Geni looks anterior to reliving the moment as often as possible on VIDEO. The total adventure was captured on video by No Excuses Outdoors (www.noexcusestv.com), which plans to air the Last Mountain ice fishing episode within middle February.
