    Orca caught this 22″ Sauger that weighed 5 1/2 lbs. on his homemade purple and white jointed plug.

    We caught several more, but none as nice as this.

    ah i see. I always thought it would look sweet to have a walleye or sauger mounted in my room..but ill settle for the bass that i already have
    I think a 20 inch brook trout should be a nice addition
    Nice fish!
