The sauger would be a record by almost a full lb. Wait for the official results I guess.
It's not mine to correct but y'all have another look at the OP. It talks about a record sauger followed by a period and then another sentence describing a rainbow.........that's how I read it.

I bet that isn't pure bred sauger out of the red. They cross with walleye. They have the spotted dorsal but not the "sauger" look. A pure bred sauger has the skinny profile and the blotchy dark patches. I caught a hawg out of the red deer probably 20 years ago when the record was 5.5 or something but it just had the spotted dorsal otherwise it looked like a wallie. I would like to see that fish. I got mine right in downtown red deer. Good to see some record fish tho either way.Not stirring the pot just curious.

Actually that was the first thing I thought too. Would love to see a pic. Spotted dorsal and the blotches can be prevalent on a saugeye, along with the absence of the white spot on the tail, but the head shape is most telling.
