You won’t believe that a fish this big and powerful — a sturgeon! — could be caught on such a small rod and reel.

The owner of an unoccupied ice fishing shanty had to chase it for a few miles as it blew across Wisconsin’s Lake Winnebago.

Each February thousands of anglers venture onto massive Lake Winnebago with hopes of spearing a massive sturgeon. On Feb. 14, 2023, James Gishkowsky harvested a 177-pounder, which ranks No. 7 all time on the lake.

When it comes to epic fish tales, two suburban Minnesota boys have an unbelievable monster sturgeon story — except they have video to prove it.

A Wisconsin ice angler spears a 69-inch, 69-pound sturgeon that is estimated to be 54 years old. And it’s all captured on video.

Believe it or not, the recent fishing season for sturgeon on one Michigan lake lasted exactly 78 minutes.
