A bonus walleye while fishing for Lake Erie trophy smallmouth bass

Happy angler Don Fuller from Pa caught this beautiful 8lb walleye while fishing on Lake Erie for smallmouth bass. The first Saturday in May is the opener for New York’s special trophy season for smallies. You are allowed to fish for small mouth bass with live bait or artificials and if you like you can take home one fish over 20 inches for mounting. Don nailed this big walleye in the same areas that we were catching big spring bass on Lake Erie.
