| It's Official! Angler Catches New Record Walleye in Vermont!
Vermont has the best walleye fishing in New England, and
Richard Levesque’s latest entry in Vermont’s
fish record program underscores
that point. Levesque shattered the previous state record
for walleye on February 10, when he caught a walleye weighing
14.55 lbs. through the ice on Lake Champlain.
Levesque, who lives nearby in West Swanton, caught the big
fish at 9:00 p.m., using a tipup baited with a golden shiner.
The walleye measured 32 ½ inches long and had a 20-inch
girth.
The previous Vermont state record walleye weighed 13.44
lbs and was caught in the Clyde River in 1997 by Doug Niles
of Newport Center, Vt.
The fish was examined by State Fisheries Biologist Brian
Chipman at Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s office in Essex.
