MT's Fall 14 Fins

Tom Whitehead North Long Barker

Possible MN State Record???

I don't know if this fin that was caught by Jana Olson was weighed or not, but it was obviously huge.  I don't have any details on the catch.

Poopy The Puppy

Nicole Michel kept this fish for the aquarium and named it Poopy The Puppy.

Joe Torbert is the 2014 Minnesota Bowfin Club Grand Champion

Joe Torbert caught a 30" bowfin on June 14th, while fishing a tournament on Fishtrap Lake. Unfortunately he didn't get a picture of the fish.  It totally destroyed the Rapala DT3 he caught it on.

Congratulations to Joe on being the 2014 Club Grand Champion!!!
