Record Walleye For Lake Russell

A 11-lb., 6-oz. walleye would make any northern angler green with envy. The lake-record fish was caught Sept. 11, 1995 at Lake Russell by Neal Watson, of Martin.

Neal’s huge walleye held the Georgia state record for quite some time until his walleye mark was eclipsed by a 14-lb., 2-oz. fish caught at Lake Rabun by fishing guide Wes Carlton.
