ONAWAY Few of the February fish tales on Black Lake end with a freezer full of fillets. But a lot of them come this close.
There’s the time Mary Paulson watched a monster lake sturgeon drift across the windshield-sized hole she and her husband, Jim, sawed through the ice, and hollered “Spear it!” a moment too late.
Or the time 15-year-old Gavin Green looked down into the blue-green water beneath his shanty, two hours after the season ended, to see a gray mass fill its frigid window. Green burst out, “Oh my gosh, sturgeon, sturgeon!” and felt a rush that has kept him coming back for more.
