Ed Blatz brought in one of the largest sturgeon ever speared on Lake Winnebago as the season ended after just four days on Tuesday.

Blatz, of Fond du Lac, bagged a 172-pounder that measured 78 inches in length.

It is the third-largest sturgeon taken from the lake since record keeping began in the 1950s. The only larger ones were a 180-pounder caught in 1953 and a 188-pounder caught in 2004. full story
