I haven't caught a walleye of THAT size since owning the Boga Grip (last couple years).  Perhaps there are some mouth-structure issues peculiar to walleyes that I am unfamiliar with (walleyes are largely unfamiliar with ME as I seldom catch them).  Nevertheless, I have personally handled 20+ northerns & lake trout with the Boga (short version, too) & w/o issue.  The fish swam off happily.

I'm not saying Bogas the best thing since sliced bread or anything.  Nor would I say they are better than some other devices... especially the cradle.  What I do say is that they are handy, compact, & effective for most of my uses in the park.  Also, I must have gotten a superior deal on my Boga a couple years back.  I'm sure we didn't pay half of what folks are saying they cost now.

Anyhow, my guess is that the Boga would handle your 10 pound walleye well enough.

I only hope I can say the same for MY 10 pound walleye after this summer's trip.
