Lake Oahe Monster!!!
Congrats to Carter Borchardt of Watertown, SD on this his giant 16lb 4 oz walleye that measured 32.5" caught on Lake Oahe (about 3.5 hours west of Big Stone Lake)!

"Well it finally happened. Years of chasing this bite and losing a few that I think could have been in the teens we finally got THE one in the boat. The biggest fish I have ever laid eyes on and got her casting. Truly an unreal moment that I will never forget.
Now everyone swing into Sharp Automotive and pick up a new car so I can keep going to the river!😂"

Fishing report:
Not much has changed the last few weeks, the bite continues to be good for perch and bluegills. Not much happening on walleyes yet, cooler water will help.

The bite has been good off shore and in the boat ranging from 5-12 feet. For perch, many have been using minnows under a bobber or spikes on a chain bait. Lots of 10-11 inch perch being caught. The bluegills have been hitting waxworms and redworms. All sizes of bluegills being caught with a few monster 10-12 inchers as well! If you are not on them, keep moving.

Hunting is in full swing as well! Did you know there is over 85,000 acres of public hunting land in Minnesota within 30 miles of Ortonville? See ya soon! Now is the time!
