- Description: Caught this gorgeous fish in Beaver Dam WI in late June 2009 on a waxworm. I had made two previous trips to this area trying to catch one of these and failed both times. Well, third time's a charm - and I caught three of them this day!!

- Description: This pretty fish was caught in Plymouth WI in 2009. He was the deepest violet I have ever seen on a brook trout that I caught. He hit on a crawler thrown under a footbridge after I pulled a brown trout out of the same hole. Lucky!

- Description: I caught this Brown Trout at the 2009 Root River Roundup after everyone else had left. I was the last one at the campground and I decided to throw into the rapids one more time with a big nightcrawler and was rewarded nicely...

- Description: This carp was 27" long and heavier than he looked. I caught him at the dam in Sauk on the Wisconsin River. He fought so hard I thought I had hooked a Paddlefish - but I was more than happy to see him when he finally surfaced. He ate a crawler on bottom.

- Description: This came out of the Fox River about 5 minutes from my house. He destroyed a bluegill I had put on a hook especially for him. What a fight!!!! I think he probably found a deep hole and slept the rest of the night after I let him go :-)

- Description: This lunker hit a crawler on bottom in the Wisconsin River on Highfin Beach. I didn't know what in the heck he was until I saw him surface - he did not fight like your everyday drum (i.e. surfboard in...) This was also the prettiest drum I have caught - the blues and grays were gorgeous. I let him go to hopefully make more like him.

- Description: A pond in the Kettle Moraine area holds a secret - there are schools of goldfish in it that have been reproducing in the wild for years - hundreds and hundreds that form huge glowing orange clouds in the water. Surreal... I used a minnow rig and a waxworm to score this life list addition. They would not hit it unless it was floating and lightly jigged.

- Description: They grow these babies BIG down south!!!! This fish nailed a mepps spinner while I was fishing Table Rock Lake in MO. He was 9 inches long!!!! I could have sworn I had a bass on until he surfaced - I almost couldn't believe it! I doubt I will ever catch one this big again - he was a very beautiful (and VERY aggressive) fish.

- Description: This is my greatest accomplishment as a fisherman so far. This amazing fish was found in the Wisconsin River feeding near shore on a sandy bottom in 2009. He hit a waxworm and was tremendously difficult to coax into biting, and when he did he went absolutely berserk! It took many hours of attempting to catch this fish before I finally brought him in. I can't wait to go out and watch them in the wild again!!

- Description: This hog inhaled a whole crawler in Willow Creek near Auroraville, WI in June 2009. I brought him in on a #10 short shank hook using 6 pound line on my ultralite - he fought like a demon!!

- Description: I love sunfish. This little gem can only be found one place in Wisconsin in the Mukwonogo River - but man the place is loaded with them. Even so they only turned on for a short amount is time that day, but while they were hungry they were voracious. This one hit a piece of nightcrawler in 2009.

- Description: This Longnose Gar was caught on Lake Winnebago in May 2010. Cutbait suspended beneath the surface with a bobber brought him to me. This is the coolest looking fish I've ever caught...

- Description: WOO!! I never thought I would actually get one of these to bite, much less actually catch one!!! This fish came out of the crystal-clear waters of the Waupaca River near Weyawega WI in August 2009. He shot out of the water like a rocket when I hooked into him!! He jumped a good foot and a half out of the water and put up a hell of a fight for a foot-long fish. Thanks to JKnuth for the pointers on how to fish for them. Tiny little hook, wax worm and put it right in front of their mouths until they either swim away or bite it... you gotta hook 'em fast or away they go!

- Description: Pike are one of my favorite fish. They get a bad rap but I think they are beautiful. This 22' hellion snared a minnow that I offered to him in a pool in the Puchyan River near Green Lake, WI in 2009.

- Description: I am extremely proud of catching this fish. He was coaxed into taking a waxworm in the Wisconsin River in 2009 and is the only one of his kind I've ever caught. However, I used the 5+ hour lesson I learned in catching him to later that day catch a highfin carpsucker too - what an unbelievable day!!!!

- Description: This beautiful 19 inch shorthead came out of the Root River in Racine, WI in April 2010. My personal best shorthead to date. Nailed a chunk of worm on a circle hook, which was thrown into a deep, fast run by a concrete embankment and a nesting mink.

- Description: This Trout Perch was a WHALE!! 155mm long! The largest recorded by the DNR in WI was 152mm in 1968... A trophy fish indeed!! He came out of the Root River in Racine, WI while hunting for the elusive Longnose Sucker... will have to wait to add that one on another day...

- Description: This beautiful fish hit a crawler in the brush under a willow tree very close to shore in the Mukwonogo River in 2009 while I was fishing for Longear Sunfish with JKnuth. They are powerful fighters as far as panfish go. The water in that river is crystal clear and the bottom is strewn with gravel and mussels - it is one of the prettiest places I have ever fished.
