FOND DU LAC, Wis. (AP) — The sturgeon-spearing season on Lake Winnebago ended after just four days with a mammoth catch.
Ed Blatz bagged a 172-pounder that that measured 78 inches in length, the third-largest sturgeon taken from the lake since record keeping began in the 1950s. The only larger ones were a 180-pounder caught in 1953 and a 188-pounder caught in 2004.
