WHAT A DAY Jackson Utermarck, 10, of Fairmont, Minn., had quite a day recently on vacation with his family on Lake Vermilion. Jackson caught a 45-inch muskie (a personal best), then a 38-inch northern (another personal best) then this 38-inch northern — all in the same day. (The Minnesota Star Tribune)
