Just weighed in at Everts Resort!
Greg Vandemark of >vandysguideservice<
…weighed in a 6 lbs 9 oz sauger caught by his nephew Mike! This surpasses the WI State Record of 5.86 and MN’s record of 6.275!
Greg, better known as Reefrunnner on IDA left the resort to release their catch at an undisclosed locaton in Pool 4 of the Mississippi just a few short moments ago.
Photo’s to come!
Congrats Mike and Greg!! 
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KUDOS TO THE KID!!!!!!!!
And they’re going to release it? Awesome! I can’t wait to see the pics!
FYI this fish was not measured on a certified scale.
Reefrunners digital came in at 6.1 and the digital at Everts Resort 6.96.
Awesome. Way to go, Mike!
What did you have for a length?
WOW!!! That is fantastic!!! 
Nice fish….congrats!!!! 
Congrats Vandy & Mike

Holy Crap, 96 oz. That alot of OZ. 
That is a great fish. Congrats to Mike and to Vandy
Time on the water = success with the saugers!
Great job guys. It was bound to happen, glad it happened to members of the IDA family! 
Awesome job!! I’d probaby need some help releasing my grip from the tail. 
Well, we predicted this! Awesome!!!
Hey Tuck, what would this sauger weigh on a Von Hanson scale?
You would have to throw it back. 
Thats cool!
Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

That is AWESOME! I thought someone might break the record with all the SUMO Saugers that have been brought in to Everts Resort this season. It was just a matter of time and I am so pleased that it was an IDA angler that go it! Great job Greg and family! And nice job on the release. A replica will look better and last forever!
THAT IS COMPLETELY AWESOME! LOOK OUT NOW HERE COMES THE BOATS! 
Ok guys and gals! I don’t have the photo’s, Vandi does and he’s still fishing with Mike…
So please hold off on your cards and letters! 
Great catch!! Can’t wait to see the pics and get the offical story. Congratulations.
B-Fish-N be ready for a ton of buisiness if reported that they caught it on a ringworm or paddletail! He reported Pro blue was a hot color yesterday. Hope Mike caught it on one of those.
Nice job Mike . Your one lucky guy to have an Uncle like Greg . It was nice of you Greg to take Mike to your secret spot . Nice job you two .
Did they get it weighed on an “official” scale? If not will either state reckonize this as being a record? Either way this is one heck of a fish and he should be proud of it. Glad to see that it was released also!!!!
Talk about HAWG HUNTING. Way to go. You just know when word gets out the boats will stack up on the river. Wonder how many will come out of storage??????Congratulations of a great catch.
no matter if it end up being certified or not, she is one prime sized sauger. I hope the scale at Dean’s get certified at the correct weight, or very close anyway.
Freakin’ AWESOME!! Nice Job
Weigh to Go!
WOW! Congrats on a great fish guys.
Just a few more confirmed tid bits of info…
Mike aka Walleye Boy of IDA will be getting a new avatar real soon!
I spoke with Hawger and his clicker had 127 fish in the boat today!
Most…or should I say MANY are reporting limits from the crowded fish cleaning house at Evert’s.
And lastly, I have Walleye Boys autograph!!! (won’t be found on Ebay!)
Full story to follow as Greg (Reef Runner), is on his way home now.
