23 1/2# LAKE ERIE KING (Yes, Lake Erie)

[Storm Warning II]

This dandy was taken by Vision Quest Sportfishing Charters (www.dreamsteelie.com) out of Erie, PA this past Sunday.

Where did this thing come from????

The Capt. told me it darned near wrecked the entire walleye/steelie spread he had out. It played limp wrist until the last 75 feet from the boat before it went NUTS.

WTG on the Erie King. Yes those Kings do get boat shy especially when the come in green.:)

Wow, I'm sure his tackle wasn't rigged for that fish. The angler must have done a great job on the rods, especially if he got into the rest of the spread.

Damn nice fish....That had to be a blast on walleye gear!!!:eek::cool:

[Storm Warning II]

We all basically fish salmon gear on the east end of Erie.

Braid divers, wire divers, lead core, and riggers. I know most all of my gear does double duty.

Never the less, i bet the drag was screamin'!...Thats a nice looking King!;)

[Storm Warning II]

Believe it or not, he said it just popped off the rigger like a walleye. It never took drag till it saw the boat...
