    Me and my daughter went fishing at Lake Zumbro fishermans inn on sunday. I was fishing for cats. Had an 1 day old dead good size sucker minnow, stepped on it to get some juices flowing and threw it in. About 20 minutes later I had something. With 80 pound test I wasnt worried about losing it. After a good 10 minute fight I got him on shore. A 38 inch norhtern. What a suprise. It was very fat and fed well. I got a couple of pictures of it and released him so someone else could have the fun I had landing it.
