I would think 20's would be more productive. It's not the 60's anymore! JMO Bob

I know, you just asked to see a photo of a 20 lb walleye. What's the difference where it comes from. Think the record for Arkansas is 22 lb so it would look very similar.

Both out of Greers Ferry 20+ on the left, 22lber on the right

Thanks.

Not my lake but I will bet my 32.5 a month earlier would look very similar. From my 30 years of fishing on Bull Shoals fish top out at 8 or 9 pounds here except just before spawn. Bob

Looking at the rigs those 2 on Greers Ferry are standing by they were Crappie fishing. I saw a 22 at a sports show in Chicago from Greers. They had it in a cooler. Probably 25 or 30 years ago. They are still freaks' like most record fish.
