When Helena Police Chief Steve Hagen retired at the end of 2021, he told MTN he planned to spend a lot more time hunting and fishing. He made that happen – and made a big catch in the process.

World-Famous or Legendary Muskie “Hotspots” – Part VIII
by Larry Ramsell, Muskellunge Historian
Let us now return to the
Turtle-Flambeau Flowage in Wisconsin, and cover “Hotspot” number three there. I’ll again note that the two largest verified muskies caught from this log-laden Pond, both over 50-pounds, were caught by women! This second one will likely make us anglers wonder again if we are doing the right things.

Dollar Island is a relatively small island in the big basin on the Flambeau side of the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage near the old river channel.
jon: you always hear about the big one that got away, right? but a missouri couple is now telling everyone about a record-setting catfish they were able to land, and boy is this a story to tell. they were fishing in the missouri river when they latched onto this monster. it s a 130-pound blue catfish, 57 inches long, 45 inches around the middle, took them 15 minutes to reel the fish up to the boat and another 30 minutes to get it out of the water. they are still getting over their incredible catch. greg, you have some experience landing these big fish. you ve caught record fish before i guess. yes. jon: first of all the bait, it s my understanding that he bit on some of the hated asian carp? yes, that s what i was using.
