talks about catching the

Great Northern



Dick Kampa catches the Great Northern! [T]his compares with [Ron's] big Walleye from Lake Laurus. It took at least 10 minutes to haul this guy in. At first I thought it was a rock I'd snagged then it started moving and I thought it was a fish. Then, it stopped and seemed like a rock on the line. Finally, it got going and we had to move the boat out into deeper water to keep it from hooking the line on a rock. The line was very light 4 pound test with small hooks baited with part of a worm.
After pictures we returned him to the lake. He was so tired that at first it just floated until we rocked him back and forth in the water. A minute later he took off.
I'll let Rick tell you all about his walleye which was the largest one caught by anyone in our party, 20" long.
