Nicky and Scott Gehrman, Amery, Wis.

28-inch and 25.5-inch walleyes

Lake Superior

(As told by Scott's uncle, Gary Gehrman of Stillwater)

"We found fish in Lake Superior -- after much searching -- in deep-water weed beds at 22- to 27-feet, using trolling boards and lures. Nicky had not caught any big walleyes before in her life. Last year, she hooked a big one that Scott knocked off while trying to net it. This year, after Scott caught a 25.5-inch walleye, Nicky caught a bigger one, and Scott netted it, so there is love in the boat again. Scott and Nicky spend all their free time fishing together.''

MUSKIE MANIA Francine Nanne of Edina caught and released this 47-inch muskie using a bucktail lure on the Canadian side of Lake of the Woods. Helping hold the fish is guide Paul Hilhorst. “The fish fought like crazy,’’ Nanne said. “It was a thrill of a lifetime.’’

BIG BASS Six-year-old Levi Ehlers of Minneapolis tangled with this 15-inch smallmouth bass at his grandparent's cabin on Deer Lake in Wisconsin. He brought it in himself, and it's his biggest catch of the summer.
