Big king salmon wins grand prize at New York’s spring LOC derby

Featured, Fishing, National Fishing, National News, New York, News /

One could say Joe Yaeger of East Amherst, N.Y., was simply in the right place at the right time. However, to understand Yaeger and his approach to salmon fishing, one must look at the big picture.
For the short version, Yaeger, fishing with his brother Paul Yaeger, of Grand Island, reeled in a 24-pound, 5-ounce king salmon on May 7 while fishing the Niagara Bar to win the Spring Lake Ontario Counties Trout and Salmon Derby’s $15,000 Grand Prize.

Odd couple: Big bowfins, bullheads in northwest Wisconsin’s St. Croix Flowage

Lake Profile, Lake Profile, Wisconsin /

The chances of anglers intentionally seeking out truly big bowfins and bullheads are mighty slim, but for the handful of record-book seekers out there, the Douglas County’s St. Croix Flowage might just be the place that can get their name on the cover of the – no, not the Rolling Stone – but, sure, the cover of the Wisconsin Outdoor News, and maybe the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame in Hayward.
