    about a month ago my dad was out on the croix about 2 miles upstream of prescott and he caught a 31 in. dogfish!!!!!!! I new that was a big dogfish so i looked up the state record the other day and it is 31.6 in, now my dads wasnt officially measured or anything but still, thats close to a state record.

    A couple days later we caught a 10 lb sheephead. it was the ugliest thing ever. it was prolly as wide as it was long, 24 in.

    anybody else catching some big rough fish anywhere?

    They were not so big but we caught tons of sheepheads near the Kinni on Sunday.

    My brother-in-law caught this beauty last spring. It wouldn’t come up off the bottom. He, of course, thought it was 10#+ Walter. I thought it was a cat. We were both wrong. Went about 15#. UGLY. I now call him the Little Drummer Boy. Oh, caught it on WI side of Bayport.
