Thomas B. Evans
Angler Thomas B. Evans had fished Greers Ferry Lake in Arkansas for years, successfully targeting the large walleye found throughout the body of water. But on the morning of February 10, 1989, while there was still ice on the water, Evans landed the biggest walleye of his 60 year life – a 9.35-kilogram (20 pounds, 9 ounces) fish that has stood as the men’s 10-kilogram (20 pound) line class record ever since.
Evans was trolling a deep running lure in the Devil’s Fork arm of Greers Ferry Lake when the big walleye hit. Despite the massive size of the fish, Evans was not impressed with the fight, which lasted only 5 minutes. The catch not only earned the angler a world record, it also earned him first place in a local tournament.
