Default 1st "Eye" ...weight?

Went up to the sheds this Saturday in my second attempt at my first EYE. Got a bit of a late start as i wanted to be fishing before the sun came up. Was throwing a swim jig in the shallows (5-6ft) thinking they are in preSpawn or Spawn patterns and moving water like the feeder stream coves. No luck. Moved to 12-14ft right as the sun was cresting the treeline. Boom! Rod tip goes down and the fight is on. Fish had more weight behind her than fight. Too early n maybe too sluggish this early in the season. Felt like reeling in a sunken tree branch with the occasional tug. Saw the beauty and yelled for the net. After two missed swipes we got her in. First walleye ... check!! Another fish off the ol bucket list. In the excitement n chaos we didnt measure. Any guesses on lenght and weight? Im curious. Want to tell my buddies n brag a bit. Ha!!!
Caught on drop shot rig..2.5' smelt gulp minnow. Bout 13ft down... a foot leader on both sides of hook with 1/2oz weight..bouncing off bottom.
