Syracuse.com - Vermont angler reels in lunker Oneida Lake walleye

[HuntingNY-News]

In my opinion the walleye fishing on Oneida so far this year has been amazing. A trophy of this size was icing on the cake for both of us, his fishing buddy said. Submitted photoDan Swayze, of Burlington, Vt., holds up a lunker walleye (26 1/2 inches) that he caught recently while fishing with his buddy, Jason Putman.Putman wrote: "This monster was caught west of Frenchman Island on a black jig in 20ft of water. I live on the lake and have been fishing it regularly for walleye the past 8 years, this is a true trophy by Oneida lake standards. A walleye this size would be typical on Lake Ontario, but not on Oneida. I believe this fish would have won the opening weekend tournament by close to 2 inches."In my opinion the walleye fishing on Oneida so far this year has been amazing. A trophy of this size was icing on the cake for both of us. Dan still has lots of family in the Tully area where he is originally from."
