I decided I didnt want to work,
and figured I would lurk,
I didnt need a auger,
to fish for sauger
in the deep mississippi murk,

The weather was fine,
with some great sunshine,
I wonder if it'd be too much,
and put a call into Hutch,
or just respool my leadcore line

Tough to call,
with the Playoff brawl,
Could always count my crankbaits,
As they are pretty close to my body weight,
Maybe its a run to Cabelas at the mall?

Now walleyes are fine
almost as good as swine,
but lets not forget
as we sometimes get wet,
when the high water calls for handline

Well, its back to the grind,
as I try to unwind,
thinking of sauger,
without the auger
hoping I am of sound mind

Yep, I use the old Big Knob's recipe for sauger soup.
==========================================
By Jeff Lampe out of the PJStar, 10/11/07

As you folks may or may not know, Dominic suffered an injury from falling out of his tree stand. He past away last month.
================================================
In memory of my old buddy Dominic “Big Knob” Culjan, here’s a recipe he once shared for sauger, reprinted from the March 21, 2004 edition of the Peoria Journal Star.

So you’ve just caught a nice mess of Illinois River sauger. Now what? Veteran guide Dominic “Big Knob” Culjan of Utica is partial to sauger soup.

First filet three sauger, making sure to remove the brownish mud vein. Then chunk the fish and sautee the pieces in a large sauce pan with a stick of butter. After sauteeing the fish, smash them up and set aside.

In a separate pot boil two or three peeled potatoes that have been diced into half-inch squares. Pour some of the potato water into the sauce pot and add diced celery, mushrooms, a packet of Knorr’s Hollandaise Sauce, milk and heavy cream. Measurements vary according to taste.

Next put fish and potatoes into the pot, mix well and simmer with the lid on. After 7-12 minutes your soup should be ready.

“Then all you do is serve it, eat it and love it,” Culjan said. “I’ll eat three bowls in one sitting and walk around like a bloated little blimp.”

Its a winona bite,
we are in for a fight
tough to leave the bago flies
for mississippi river pool 6 eyes
maybe #5 shad raps in white?

its low flow
at least theres no snow
I miss the hot fish shop
as long as I see my prop
maybe a zip in glow

its chicken time again
as I hope its not whooping crane
grind the channel
mabye I will be on sports channel
its the 2008 chicken campaign

willow cats are thin
may break out the beetle spin
as I look for barges
or water discharges,
maybe I belong in a loony bin

Now I hear, I may be able to eat a sauger out of winnebago. Dont think thats gonna happen. I think its just too early to open a single fish bag limit.

Otherwise not many options. Both illinois and mississippi pretty unfishable. At least for awhile.

Looks like coho on the lakefront.
