From the DNR:
We are seven days into the season and with the impending winter storm coming in Saturday, we saw an increase in the amount of harvest. In total, there were 65 lake sturgeon harvested with 12 juvenile females, 18 adult females and 35 males across the Winnebago System.
Lake Winnebago saw a good amount of harvest compared to the last few days. There were 41 fish harvested with 9 juvenile females, 15 adult females and 17 males. Another three fish over 100 pounds were speared, bringing the total to 27 for the season.
Steady harvest on the Upriver Lakes brought Friday’s total to 24 lake sturgeon (18 males, 3 adult females and 3 juvenile females). We are now at 75% of the male harvest caps on the Upriver lakes (33 juvenile females, 38 adult females and 178 males total for the Upriver Lakes season).
The largest fish of the day also came from the Upriver lakes. Jacob Thompson (pictured) speared a 152.2-pound, 80-inch, F4 female.
Please note, due to water clarity, the Pipe registration station will still be closed Saturday.
