It's time to start sharing the news about your nice fish.
Each Sunday this summer, the News Tribune's Outdoors section will publish a list of big fish caught in our region. Understand, this isn't a contest. It's just a listing of many of the largest fish caught throughout the Northland.
The Nice Fish column will begin May 17.
To get your fish listed:
E-mail it to outdoors@ duluthnews.com.
Be sure to list the angler's name, hometown, the body of water where the fish was caught and its weight in pounds and ounces, or, if it was released, its length in inches.
We have minimum weights and lengths in each category. Here they are:
Other species: Sunfish/bluegill, 1 pound, 6 ounces; perch, 1 pound; catfish, 10 pounds; chinook salmon, 10 pounds; coho salmon, 3 pounds; Atlantic salmon, 4 pounds; lake trout, 8 pounds; lake trout releases, 30 inches; rainbow trout, 6 pounds; brown trout, 2 pounds; splake, 6 pounds; and lake sturgeon, 35 pounds. Nice fish photos
We'd also like to see photographs of you and your big fish. We'll publish one Sunday and post more on our Web site. The photos must feature recent catches, and everyone in the photo must be identified (that means names and hometowns). Of course, we also want to know how big the fish was and the body of water where it was caught. Submitted photos will not be returned.
Here are two ways to send us your photos:
