15.9 pound Walleye, Biggest in 15 years

Yesterday 4/13 at 9:30 am John Kinkead caught a hog walleye out of the lower Detroit River. John caught the fish of a lifetime on a jig tipped with a 4" Gulp in shad color. John took it to Bottomline Bait and Tackle to get some pictures taken. Bill at Bottomline says it's the biggest walleye from the river in the last 15 years. Congrats John.
John's big fish has all of the FLW pro anglers in town for this weekend's tournament itching for a chance at the same type of fish. Final weigh-in will be Sunday 4/17 at 3 pm at Elizabeth Park in Trenton. More pics and info to come.
