Walleye: 4.5 lbs
Northern: 15 lbs 12 oz
Pumpkin Seed 2 lb
Black Crappie: 2.5 lbs
Silver Crappie 1.8 lbs

My Round lake Record before she froze in the mid 90's was a 28 lb snake (Northern) and 7 lb Walleye.

I landed an 80 pound marlin

I landed an 80 pound marlin right behind Peter's. He fought like hell and I was sore for 3 days after, but what a nice catch. It was so awesome. After we got that monster untangled we threw him back. I have been trying to catch him again every summer since then.

27 inch Walleye for me !

It's funny how you can

It's funny how you can forget the size of a trophy fish, but I seem to have forgotten the size of the lunkers I landed on my fishing outing three years ago with Bill Resman.

Here's a hint though: It was my first time fishing since I was a teenager, I used equipment that Bill loaned me, and I didn't go fishing again until an expedition to a lake in Canada early this past spring.

I'm not much of an outdoorsman, but I do appreciate all the lakes we have in Meeker County. I would welcome an invitation from any other expert anglers out there who have the patience to teach a novice how be successful fishing on Meeker County's lakes.
