    From an email to Everts Fishing Resort, in the words of the lucky angler himself.~

    Subject: New State Record Sauger caught out of Everts

    Hello, my name is Joshua Sahr and I was in on March 19th with the big Sauger. I have since gotten it measured and weighed by a certified DNR agent and it is now official (as of current record books) to be the new Wisconsin State Record Sauger. I thought that I would send you some pics of it since you were the first to get a sneak peak at the new record. Thanks you so much for helping out, I really do appreciate everything.

    Sincerely,

    Joshua Sahr

    Congratulations Joshua!

    Note: This is the second Wisconsin State Record fish to be caught out of Everts Fishing Resort in as many years. The State Record Shovelnose Sturgeon was caught launching out of Everts in 2007.

    Nice fish! Congrats on the record.

    I do have a dumb question though…how are records determined on boundary waters? Wouldn’t this beauty also qualify as the MN state record? Can it only be certified in one state? Just curious how that works.
