Those are some big numbers Fishingmom! Any pictures of that near record Crappie? Pitures of any of the above fish? Not that I don't believe you, but I am always keen to see pictures of any 17lb walleye!

Those steel picks are excellent aren't they.
I can't take credit for that one, sturgeon fishing with fish over 8' realy is a team event. the guide Jeff Welch, really blew me away that day. Jeff and I started fishing sturgeon together after school when i got my drivers licence in the early 90's and he has stayed focused on the sturgeon ever since. That day we landed 11 fish with the smallest being 6' and it was made more special because I was with my dad and bro and a great friend guided us.
If any of you want Jeff's info PM me and I'll forward it to you. There are guides with bigger, faster jets and better lunches but you're there for trophy sturgeon and that's what Jeff does.

Still waiting for pics of a 17lb walleye.  
My biggest fish was a blue shark I posted pics of in Alodar's thread a little while ago. Apart from that, the pike in my avatar that was a little over 16 from Wab.

i dunno how much she weighed, but i got a sturgeon that bottomed out my spring scale. it went to 60, and just guessing id say the fish might have made 70? i had pics, but they seem to have vanished along with several others from that era. i may have donated them in a divorce?

Seriously???
Those are some pretty ridiculous numbers. 17lb Walleye,4.7lb Crappy and 13lb Bass? OK. Must be quite the fisherperson to have so many near records.
Anybody who ACTUALLY caught fish like that would post pics and would have a name like Bob Izumi or Babe Winkleman.
Anybody posting weights of fish like that on AO without pics could only be named FishingMom or RedHeadedFisherman.

If that's 13'2", you guys must be a lot shorter in person.
Looks a lot less than 132" as well if it's a typo.
