| LMB- 24 3/4" out of Pewaukee
SMB- 22" Mississippi River
Pike- 44" Cass Lake
Muskie-49 3/4" Cass Lake
Walleye- 11 1/2#-33 1/2" Long Lake, Vilas County. (Now that lake has a zero walleye population because the DNR introduced Rainbow Smelt that eat the eggs and fry, while they also introduced more Lake Trout. The DNR wants to make it a trout lake-"because you can catch walleyes anywhere, but you can't find lake trout anywhere in Wisconsin." Have fun catching those trout, because you can't troll that lake. Sometimes I just don't get it.)
Rainbow Trout- 22 1/2# Lake Michigan. |

8' Lemon Shark, 10wt Fly rod.

Those are some of the biggest. The most memorable, though was a smallie on BWCA. Weighed in at 6lb12oz on a certified Boga Grip. |

Location: Kodiak, AK | 311# halibut, then a 298 the next weekend in the same spot! (This was before subsistence licenses and the drop in population. At that time they were everywhere. If I had it to do over again, I'd have released those ladies.)
Then I switched to long rods for 'buts and my best was 38 lbs.
Lived in Kodiak for five years, so I don't know what my biggest salmon is. I stopped keeping track. |

I had gone 84 days without catching anything but on the 85th I tied into a marlin that pulled my boat around for two days. On the third day I harpooned it and dragged it back to shore. Unfortunately a group of sharks were attracted to it and stripped it clean leaving only the skeleton and a tail. The night I got back home I drifted off to sleep and dreamed about Lions in Africa.
A rare gem...thanks for the post... |
