I was bass fishing in my float tube one day in Cochran's lake when I was younger and hooked into a 38" muskie. It took me for a nice ride to the middle of the lake before I finally landed him. I couldn't believe that my line held up a when that monster finally flashed as I brought him closer. I will always remember that one!
Where in Western Nebraska? We own some private sandpit off the North Platte River that have some pretty good walleyes.
Scarlet Ripper

The fish of a million casts. I need to catch one of those as well.
My biggest was a 30 incher.
I prefer anything up to 2 1/2 pound, anything bigger, the meats not as good.
25" is my biggest, didn't keep her. We return the larger fish, mostly females so it's a benefit I hope to keep those large egg creators in the lakes. Best eating walleye for us are the 18"-20" range. Going to Flaming Gorge the end of April for some different views, different water and other fish species.
28 pound Northern In a pond off the Mn river only way to get to it was hike with canoe
Grew up in Scottsbluff, so I'm familiar with all 3. My grandpa took me and 2 of my cousins out on his boat to catch walleye at Lake Minatare one time. All 3 of the kids hooked what turned out to be a 12 ponder. All three of us lost him. Grandpa finally hooked and landed the same fish that the kids just lost, and all 3 of our hooks were still in its mouth.
while walleyes are nice, most of are kinda girly on the end of the line, there is no fight, or minimum fight, aka... a 16 inch Lg mouth fights better than a 3 lb walleye usually. Walleye and perch are the best tasting.... and there is no question about that one.
For just plain catch and release fun... Northerns, & Smallies are #1, with Largemouth #2 I have caught plenty of Muskies, and some big ones, but the infrequency of the catch keeps me from listing them higher. My fishing opportunities are fewer now, so I target Northerns and Bass when I can go.
Dont get me wrong... Id go walleye fishing tmrw morn if I could.

I can catch northern every day if I chose to, likely bass as well.
But to me?
Get a 1 pound plus bluegill on the line, and those 3 pound northerns just dont cut it, same for bass of that weight.
But,like muskie, few and far in between
I lived near the Mississippi river awhiles back, would wade out a bit and catch smallies, in the river, they can be extra fun
NOTHIN beats light action top water smallies,
