                                    Nice walleye                                                                                 And the winner is?

Kelly Turgeon, CED, Kittson Co. was the winner of the Big Fish Contest with his catch and release of a 25" walleye. He is living proof that it is better to be lucky than good. His winning fish was the only decent fish he caught all day. He also had to withstand the assistance of Gary "No Net" Schommer.
Justin Phillips, FLM, West Polk Co. was a distant second place with his catch and release of a 22" walleye.

A great fish fry was held after the contest at the resort. Two FSA retirees, Rod Soderstrom and Harlan Highberg, came to enjoy the afternoon with us as well.

The fishing was great, with all boats catching their limits of walleyes. Several walleyes over the slot limit were also released.
 

The 2007 winner of the Big Buck Contest is Wayne Enger. Wayne's buck was shot late November during muzzleloader season. Wayne collects $140 cash and a yet to be found or replaced Big Buck Contest Trophy. Schommer, you need to step to the plate and get a new trophy for our contest. Enough is enough.
