An angler in northern Ontario reeled in a quite a catch this week: a walleye that measured a whopping 31.25 inches.
Her catch was just shy of the largest-ever walleye caught in Ontario — way back in 1943 — which measured 36.5 inches.
Emma Bertrand loves to fish Lake Nipissing, but she says she will always remember her latest catch and release.
Bertrand says she was out on the lake with her parents and family friends on Friday when she felt a mighty tug on her line.
"At first we were thinking it may be a pike the way it was fighting hard and pulling," Bertrand says. "Once I got it up we took a quick photo and released her back to the water."
