Hit the water early this morning around 6:45 am. Was fishing with a Reed Runner with a trailer hook topped off with a white 4 inch twister. Fished along the bank till I got to two weed bed points forming a channel into a small bay off the river. That was the HOT spot! Started off by catching this nice Bass, then caught two Blue Walleye 10 minutes apart. The second one was a beast measuring 28 inches and weighing 6.8 lbs. I also missed another Walleye and a Bass. Wow! What a morning.....

17 inches

21 inches

28 inches & 6.8 lbs

Nice report.... I've caught many blue walleye in the past and those do not look anything like them ...especially that last pic

Nicely done!

Here's how much I know about Blue Walleye, I thought I read that they were extinct.

I was introduced to "blue walleye" by the one and only Daner 24yrs ago on a kick butt lake in Quebec....... .......he should be able to post some pics of a true Blue Walleye

Only reason I'm saying there blue walleye's is they were grey-ish / white colored. They weren't your gold-ish / black color ones that everybody catching. If there are not Blue walleye's what are they?

Looks like a color morph. It's still just a regular walleye, merely not your classic gold colour likely caused by the turbid waters you were fishing.

Those are just regular Wally's, a lot of places
on the Ottawa they're lightly coloured like that,
fish adapt to their environment.

BTW, 28" & 6 lbs. plus is a beauty indeed,
congrats on a productive outing.

Here you go Guys.
They are out there but not caught too often. They pray on your brain, swim in your sleep and wait for the limited few fishermen. I am one, my brother is another, so is my little buddy Alex and of course my big buddy Steve!

Hey Guy's, Cyber is right...the true Blue Walleye was from Lake Erie and has been non-existant since the 1930's...although there are places in Quebec that have some with a blue tinge to them...they are not "blue walleye" .

I beg to disagree!

Daner...you can disagree all you want dude ...just because they have a blue tinge to them does mot make them blue walleye...science is what makes them blue walleye...

BIG JIM

Again Jim, I disagree.

You can read and believe the reports all you want, but I have been catching them since 1970. And there is a difference between a yellow pickerel and a blue that I catch.
Isn't it funny how the Americans only speak of the Great Lakes, in the following article.
There are other waters in this world and certainly the governments cannot monitor them all!

We all have our beliefs!

Interesting reading from a a while back in Ontario Out of Doors magazine.

Walleye making their own sunscreen?

Daner, do you have any pics of the blue walleye and the yellow walleye together? The articles I have read suggest that there will be a notable difference in the size of the eyes and the blue walleye eyes will be closer together.

Would be neat to see a local pic showing they both exist.
