Ross Bootsma from Sheldon, IA
Walleye 27 1/4 inches
“My Dad caught a nice sized walleye, so we went back over the spot a couple of times. That is when I caught something I knew was big, but I had no idea how big. I caught it near an outlet of Horseshoe Lake using a jig with a yum twister tail.”
Jim Roberts from Clermont, FL
Smallmouth Bass 5lbs 2oz
“This is the largest Smallmouth that I have ever landed. I really appreciate CBO for putting on the contest. If it was not for your hospitality I would have never caught it.”
Christina Lagattolla from Dekalb, IL
Northern Pike 40 inches
“I was using my boyfriend's new fishing pole with a suspending Bomber Long A.I thought there was no way I would have any luck with such a large lure, but gave it a shot. First cast, a nice smallie hit right at the boat. Didn't get it. A few casts later, I was like GEEZ, I think I'm snagged. When I saw her, all I could think was what a big monster. I honestly was a bit scared.”
John Callen from La Cross, WI
Lake Trout 31 Inches
“We were in Agnes Lake having very good luck off this island. We caught a few trout but they weren't that big. We kept fishing and I felt this huge bang! It felt like a snag, but sure enough it was a monster Lake Trout.”
