It also dwarfed the previous state-record zander, also caught in Spiritwood, reportedly in 2013, which weighed 11-3 and measured 32 inches long.The North Dakota Game and Fish Department reportedly stocked zander in Spiritwood in 1989 – 180,000 fry and 1,050 fingerlings – but dropped the program the next year because of concerns from neighboring states Minnesota, South Dakota and Montana and Canadian province Manitoba. But they remain in the lake in small numbers, with bigger fish reported in recent years.Wonder how many folks caught a big ole zanderand called it a  big walleye on spirtwood? can't really tell a difference.- - - Updated - - -interesting~Sam Wenner, of Jamestown, N.D., caught what is expected to be certified as a state and North American record for zander while fishing Aug. 17 on Spiritwood Lake near Jamestown – Spiritwood and nearby Alkali Lake have the only verified zander populations in North America.The North Dakota Game and Fish Department reportedly stocked zander in Spiritwood in 1989 – 180,000 fry and 1,050 fingerlings – but dropped the program the next year because of concerns from neighboring states Minnesota, South Dakota and Montana and Canadian province Manitoba.
