Did your fish have the white tail marking or is that a sauger (can’t tell by the pic, sorry)? If that’s sauger, you got bragging rights!!! Both are nice fish either way!!! Congrats. Mark
She is an eye and does have the tail spot. Just don’t show in this paticular picture. Shows in the others. My first thought was saugeye but that was not the case. Just a nice 9# eye.
