| Numerous sturgeon in the wolf. Don't bring them in the boat to weigh or take pics but last year I had some that would have easily topped the 80 lb. mark. All caught while walleye fishing. |

| Most defintly my largest would be a 100lb+ sturgeon while drifting jigging in shallow water they feel like a log and then you pull them up to the surface and bamb they run and its cut the line a/s/a/p. |

Location: Rhinelander | Mine actually was a 34" walleye. I was fishing Muskies on Wabigoon Lake in Canada, and caught the thing on 100# line and an 8' muskie stick. I let her go, because I didn't want to have to explain that it was accidental every time anyone saw the mount. |

A 52 inch Muskie on Munoscong Bay when I was 10 years old, while trolling for walleyes, while using an old rusty Green/Black herringbone Heddon River Runt.

| Lets see, I caught a bra last year and the year before that it was the bottom of a swim suit. Can't wait for this year. I've ACCIDENTLY hung a couple of spoonbills in the 6 foot range. Not sure of the weight but they sure didn't wanna come up and see the sun. Hutch |

Location: Neenah, WI | Caught a Pike well over 20 lbs. in a PWT tournament at Ft. Peck in 98. That was the year they were offering a 25 thousand bonus for the new PWT record walleye. My pro partner was Chuck Tipton and you can believe that our hearts were pounding until we saw it. Caught it on a jig and a leech. By the way, the record was broken there by pro John Hook and his partner. John got 15 thousand and the am got 10. |

| At the RCL Championship in 2002, 1st day, fishing with Andy Zimmerman. I caught a huge snapping turtle on a #7 SHad Rap! It was as big around as a garbage can lid! If I could have weighed it, I'd have made the cut! |
