I pulled this off another board posted yesterday.
Again this is not from me
If true it would be a state record
Thought I would share what I saw today. I went down to the Ellsworth Farmers Exchange to get some gas around 1:30 this afternoon and saw several people gathered around the back of a truck. I figured somebody shot a nice buck, but after fueling I walked over and saw one monster of a fish. I wish I would have had my phone so I could have gotten a pic. I talked to the fisherman who ran the fish to the Farmers Exchange to be weighed on a certified scale and he said it was 59 lbs. He said they caught it in Lake Bellaire which is just up the chain from the previous record which came from Torch Lake about four or five years ago. It was on the tailgate of a Toyota Tundra and darn near filled the whole tailgate! I think he said it was 54" long, but I wasn't paying to close attention to the length. The lady working at the farmers xchange said they were from down state. I wish I had pics to share, but thought I would pass it along anyway. Looked like a freshwater shark!
