NEW STATE RECORD PADDLEFISH?
It appears a new state record paddlefish has been weighed in a the North Star cleaning station. Reports that the 131# monster was caught by Grant Werkmeister of Williston. As we get more info we will keep everyone posted. It has been the year of fast and furious but also HUGE!

That is me. This fish WAS NOT harvested. We were trolling for eyes, and happened to have a 25 minute fight for this "monster" fish. We took a picture and a boat next to me to a picture and was released RIGHT AWAY.

Wow what a colorful fish, I hope she comes by the Confluence later this week #$%^&>

Any luck with the walleyes in the dirty water?

Eyes have been real slow the past few days. Still getting some but not the numbers of last week.
