Location: Northwest Wi. | Who says you have to go to the the "Other State" to get the big one. I've been to Cass, The Big V., and The Pond. But I hooked up big on a Wisconsin Strain Fish throwing a 4XDayRunner in 22 FOW. On lake X in Northern Wi. I had a hard time counting the holes on the lower jaw,,So it may be a Hi-bred. If you go out and get a 4XDayRunner don't burn them back to the boat ,It's a real slow retreave....It was 74" C&R unharmed..Best fight so far.

Location: MN | I wonder if it's really a Wisconsin strain fish? It could be a rainy river strain being that big it's more likely to be a MN fish. LOL. |

Location: Verona, WI | Yellow Lake - I was on the receiving end of a 68" WI strain fish very similar on that lake. |

Location: Belleville, WI | Nice fish! But . . . Looks more like 72.5-73 inches to me. I'm just saying. Also, I doubt that the girth was as big as the one you didn't report and/or measure. |

| You know what. I have used that 4XDayRunner, and it has been a great fish catcher. I have had one like that on a lake just like that one your on. it was 120# my biggest fish i have ever got. And that was on the same lure with no FOWL at all. just one hook in and one hook set.
