That fish got some shoulders on it! Wonder what the girth was? 

Caught one here on Lake Nipigon this July that wieghed right at 40lbs (exactly 39.36lbs) It was 45 inches long with a 26inch girth. It was wieghed on an MNR digital scale. Had one caught in 2011 that wieghed 47.74lbs girth was 28.5 and length was 46.

Biggest I've seen was 46.5 inches long and 32.5 inches on girth--don't know what it wieghed as we didn't have a scale that went over 44lbs.

These fish are all Lake Superior strain.

That is truly a nice fish for Lake Superior. Well Done!

That one could have been possibly a state record or close to it.  State record is 43 lbs and 8 oz.  caught near Hoveland but doesn't have any measurements.  That sure is a monster laker!!!!.  good luck.

Was it caught in Minnesota waters? Naturally I assumed it was caught in Michigan, since it said it was caught near Isle Royale. Michigan record is 61.5 pounds. Nevertheless, this is definitely the fish of a life time! A laker half that size would make me a happy angler!

      Culling is not against the law in Minnesota unless you have a limit. (Which obviously applies in this case.)   They finally cleared up the language about it in the regs this year.

      Since culling is against the regs in Minnesota, weighing in early is a great thing to do.   Congrats.

      We're heading up tomorrow. Hoping for walleye but looking to mostly relax. We'll have leeches and minnows and any tips would be great. Just looking for enough for a good fish fry. Thanks in advance.

      Caught a lot of small ones yesterday in 20 -30 ft.  A couple of eaters.  Minnows on Lindys clearly out fished the leeches on Lindys.

      Kudos for doing this. I'm sure a lot of fishermen would not have.

      I know it has been raining all week but anyone have any walleye reports?  Heading up for the holiday weekend and want to do some fishing.

      Partyonpine, Would you be willing to share in what areas you were getting some nice Bluegills?  I am on the east end on big bay and would like to find some good panfish.

      Opener and the week after were good.  Not the numbers we normally get but better quality in the East End.  Not surprised on the weights for the Auto City a.  Usually for us we only catch a few slot fish but we averaged 3 a day for 10 days.  2 overs, biggest 27 inches.     Our best luck was 12-16 feet for quality.  When we went deeper we caught more but smaller.  Bass were really starting to heat up.  For me little earlier than normal.  Found some nice Bluegills the day we went after some panfish.  Dock fishing was as many as we wanted per usual.

      We will be up on June 8th for the week. It will be our 13th year in a row staying on the lake.  I hope the walleye are hitting the bobbers by the time that we get there.
