These fish are really tough to catch in this game! I set my graphic settings for draw distance VERY low because it makes the fish very difficult to spot and I hate games where I can sightfish. The combo of not being able to see the fish before I cast, the fact that they bite SOOOOO light in this game, and the fact that they seem to not be very aggressive towards most lures makes them one heck of a challenge. I play the game on the hardest difficulty mode so you really gotta work to catch these guys. Has anyone been able to find any decent sized eyes? I think the biggest I have caught so far was only about 20.5" and close to 4lbs. One good thing about them is when I find one there is usually a nice school of them around in the area which is very realistic. I am just curious if anyones been able to find some bigger sized walleyes, which lake, lure, depth? I cant remember the name of the lake but the one in the midwest (not eagle) seems to have a really good population of fish in the shallow weeds. Shallow running crankbaits for me has been the best bait by far but I have been having a tough time putting any other patterns on them.
