HAPPY KID Anja McDermid, 9, of Jamestown, N.D., caught this 28-inch walleye— almost as long as she is tall — at Arneson’s Rocky Point Resort on Lake of the Woods. Anja wanted to keep her fish, but when it was explained that a fish this size would be filled with fish eggs and needed to be released to restock the lake, Anja cheerfully waved goodbye to her catch and told the fish to make lots of grandchildren.

DANDY WALLEYE Joe Gleason, 8, of Monticello, caught this 28 1/2-inch walleye on Rabbit Lake in Cuyuna, using a fathead with a slip bobber. After it hit, it ran twice before Joe was able to get it close enough to net. The fish was released, but a replica is being made. (The Minnesota Star Tribune)
