The Walleye Drop on New Year’s Eve in Port Clinton, Ohio, makes sense. After all, Port Clinton is known as the “Walleye Capital of the World.” So, every New Year’s eve, a 600-pound, 20-foot, fiberglass walleye named Wylie Jr. drops from the sky to bring in the New Year. There’s also a kid-friendly “Minnow Drop.” Festivities leading up to Midnight feature live music, contests, games, and a very unique experience.
