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.

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.

it wasn't really mine fish but on a fishing trip on Portage Lake up by Houghton/Hancock, Michigan this past July my wife, Becky hooked and released a new line-class record in Michigan a Lake Sturgeon, 63 inches while we were walleye fishing,"what a battle!" Lot's of fun too!

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

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!
