Wisconsin sturgeon spearing season ends with 6th largest harvest on record

"It was one of those dream shots," Cherney said in a phone interview Sunday afternoon. "It was right in the middle of the hole. Couldn't miss it even if you wanted to." Cherney didn't want to miss it.

And it turned out Cherney's quarry was a record. At 81.3 inches and 137.5 pounds, the sturgeon speared by Cherney was the largest hauled in this season.

...

The sturgeon season lasted eight days and Saturday was picked as the ending date after anglers approached the cap of 878 adult female sturgeon on Friday. The season ended with 911 adult female sturgeon speared.

Lake Winnebago is home to the largest native population of lake sturgeon in the world.
