Nice Fish

Each weekend this summer, the News Tribune's Outdoors section will publish a list of big fish caught in our region. No, it isn't a contest. It's just a listing of many of the largest fish caught throughout the Northland.

Marley Witherspoon of Duluth, 9, caught this 36 inch northern pike in early July fishing on Hanging Horn Lake in Barnum. It’s his biggest fish to date.

Each Sunday this summer we'll publish a list of big fish caught in our region. Email your information to outdoors@duluthnews.com or call 218-723-5300. List the angler's name, hometown, body of water where the fish was caught, nearest town, the resort you stayed at (if applicable) and the length or weight of the fish.

We'd also like to see photographs of you and your big fish. We'll publish some each Sunday and post more online. Email them to outdoors@duluthnews.com . Use jpeg format and include all pertinent information.

The News Tribune, in an effort to promote responsible handling of released fish, will not run photos of people with fish that are being mishandled. Do not hold fish vertically with one hand. Support the fish with two hands. Keep your hands away from the eyes and gills.
