Location: Naperville, IL | The dnr there said that’s not someone from their team. If I can find their post on fb again I’ll link it. It also wasn’t measured it’s a guess, looks to be the locals are out shocking fish.

| Looks to be a fat pre spawn 50"+ full of eggs anyway. Not sure about shocking fish when fish are trying to spawn. |

So locals can go shock fish as the mood strikes them? |

| If it was tribal fish sampling it would have been GLIFWIC. They are biologists and fisheries employees hired by the tribe and would be qualified fisheries people. If they were sampling walleyes, they may not have had a long enough bump board aboard to measure such a long fish. |

| When the DNR did a comprehensive survey of the chain I live back about 10 years ago, it was three parts. First they set nets right after ice out. Game fish were measured, sexed and then fin clipped. Then two days before the general opener they came back after dark and shocked. There they counted fish and counted the percentage of game fish that were fin clipped. They did not measure each fish and after they shocked they used a mathematical formula based on netted vs shocked to come up with the estimated numbers of fish in the lake. Then a tech spent a lot of time on the lake from the opener until the lake iced over checking with fishermen to get a count of fish boated by species, etc. So the only time fish were actually measured was out of the nets. Maybe that is what was happening here, shocking for a count but not measuring? |

| Seems like the same guy in both pictures, so I'd say it probably is.
#*^@ shame they didn't have a scale big enough to weigh the fish, or a girth tape. It would be very interesting to compare length/girth and actual weight to the formulas.
Oh well. At least we know they get to 61.5" Provided that measurement was accurate, that is.
I really wish someone would catch that fish and put all the previous (questionable) records in the past for good.
I wonder how many more guys are going to be fishing Mille Lacs this year... |

That’s what it seemed at first, with the new info out it looks like I was incorrect in what i read in the beginning. |
