Love it or hate it, still a monster fish and a good read/watch.

Sturgeon Spearing 2007

What a sow! Listening to him tell the story was painful, though

[huntnfish]

He sure wasn't a very good story teller. That was the longest two and a half minutes of my life.

[spearman]

Did you see the other clip on the spearing I wonder where you get a ice saw like that?

[DTro]

yep, that thing was pretty cool!

Here's another one with a good ol chainsaw. I never realized they could use such a big hole.....48 sq ft

Cutting Ice

They used to have 100ft hole with 16 guys lined up. How much fun would that be!

Yeah, Ya know it took both me and my buddy to get it outta da hole and out da door ya know.

And they say we talk funny.

It sure was one huge fish though, you have to give him that.

I don't know boys, Poygan is 4 miles north of my house and guys around here are nuts! I call the sturgeon sh*t suckers because thats what they are. We had raw sewage in this system up until the 60's, these fish are over 100 years old when they get that big. Do the math, that thing ate toilet paper off the bottom of Winnebago for more years than I have been alive (36 years).

Everybody eats em' up and says they are good but I will stick with the old golden rule, YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT and they eat [PoorWordUsage] so I aint eatin them.

Here is a photo of my buddy last year with a 72" 100+ pounder he landed on a swedish pimple with 6lb test.

that would be great to pull a fish like that up through the ice

[DTro]

HOLY MOTHER!

What a beast. That must have been a blast. How did he get it through the hole?

I have a feeling the elevator might not have worked on that one

Thanks for sharing that pic

It took him about 45 minutes to play the thing out then I grabbed it and pulled it through a melted 10" hole. It wasn't easy, felt like it took a 5lb [PoorWordUsage] when I pulled her through. It was then quickly released.

I just lost a pimple to a huge one last week on a rock pile north of Oshkosh. They just speared a 111 lb prehistoric [PoorWordUsage] sucker on the same rock pile yesterday (I'll bet it had my pimple in its nasty fat yap)

Now thats some funny [PoorWordUsage] there Joel

[vikingmeatwad]

haha, [PoorWordUsage] eater. Thats a good one but I guess it makes sense. maybe thats how those fish get so big in the far east.

awesome video, im sure it would be alot of fun to be able to get a hog like that. The saw is sweet. the holes are monsters.
