Lets post up the biggest fish you've managed to catch in your jon.

54" and 52" White Sturgeon

10' Sturgeon. That's all I could fit in the screen on my Blackberry.

They are some huge fish!

What do you use for bait? How do you catch them?

where in the world do you put them in the boat when you catch them?!?!?!?!

While you are fishing, we use a rope and tie them up to the back of the boat. The Chutes on the sides are quite sharp, and you always have to be careful when handling them. There is a slot limit for the fish you are actually able to keep. (38"-54" from the head to the fork in the tail). All of them that are larger or smaller than that are not to be taken out of the water, even for a picture. (not that you could lift the big ones anyway)

Ahab,

Typical baits are herring, smelt, shad, sand shrimp, mud shrimp, etc.

dang, on the back of the boat on a rope... I caught a 10lb Largemouth and did the same thing - he pulled me all over the lake that day....

Nice catch! Great looking fish!

they are some awsome fish..... It must be a blast dragging them around or maybe they are dragging you???

I'm usually anchored up while fighting them, otherwise they definately tow you a round a bit. Took about an hour and half to get the 10' up to the boat.

While under way, we pull the fish into the boat (kinda hog tied...)

When I get a chance I'll post some videos that I had on youtube.

Anyone else have pics of their biggest?

I have only had my boat in the water since August, but here are a few of some size I have gotten. Nothing real special, but that should change when we tow it down to the beach this year....

4.40 pounds, in a tourney

2.25 pounds (not big for the northern guys, but these aren't popular down here)

First fish I caught in this boat, not big, but he was the first.

Your water must be a lot warmer than ours. It was only 38.5-43 degrees in the lake I fished today.
