The lake in my home town actually holds the state record at 16lbs 1.76oz. I've lived near this lake my whole life but never targeted walleye. Its just not an extremely popular fish in az. I don't know the exact water temp. I don't have a fish finder or anything. I can tell you it was very cold though. The air temp was 25-35 degrees. We had trouble keeping the ice off our line. I've talked to a few people that fish for walleye on this lake in deep water during late evenings or early morning and they tell me they catch a lot but nothing over 4lbs. I don't think many people want to brave the cold for the big ones but it was well worth it to me. Now that I've figured out a system I will be trying for much larger fish in the coming years.
