Just found this old thread and thought I would post this picture. We were sturgeon fishing in the Ottawa River between Ont & Que when my buddy caught this mooneye that was over 2lbs.
We knew it was a big mooneye but never consider it might be a record, took this photo and then used it for cut-bait to catch channel catfish.
The current Ontario record mooneye of 1.94 was caught a couple of years later in the same area of the river.
