My biggest is 27'' saugeye, no pics probaly over 5 yrs or more ago at. Summer time trolling at alum creek. I only hit two fish that day. One ski an the big eye. skinney thing, probaly 5-6 lbs...

Ive had two come unbuttoned that were HOGGS. Both in the same area about 4 yrs apart. Also same area dereks(stratos93) came from... The 1st 4 yrs ago I can say was just as big as any 9-10 lb walleye ive ever gotten from lake erie. The one this year(chrismas nite, whitch was a awesome night with 6 over 20 inches and 13 caught total) she came unbottoned about 10 feet out an make the 24 incher i caught that nite look a little on the small side.....

Im ready for a 10 plus!!!!!

I've nailed several right at 28", this fat one being the biggest by far. Caught on a clown HJ-14 (the BIG husky jerk) on the Scioto in March '09 (same fish as my avatar, just different shot)

.

Actually snagged one that went 30.5", however it was rather skinny, easily weighed less then the 28" pictured above.

Hey Nimi_fisher, any pics?

I remember the Nimi saugeye well. Up till about 1995 it was a great fishery. It was very common to get limits and they were much easier to figure out than the walleye we currently have in there.

That's my only experience with saugeye but I have caught sauger in the Ohio River.

I got a 22 incher from Dover dam a few years ago. It was up in the tunnel and hit a 3 inch gulp minnow on a jighead. By the way, how are you Lewzer? We still some time left to fish. Stop by LBF saturday after 12 if youre not busy.

27 3/4", 1995 (if memory serves), @ Indian Lake, slow drifting with jig n minner in the spring. Sorry, no pics from back then but I can tell you she ate good. Most proud of the fact I brought her in with an ultralight on 4lb test mono. Luckily she didn't get wrapped around any number of snags present in the area. Those were the glory days at Indian.:B

27inch super fattie is my best, should have put her back but kept her. I have no Idea why I didnt weigh this fish but im comfortable saying its in the 8.5 to 9 lb range. This one hit a modified blue and silver vib-e

Few months later got this 7.5lber that I weighed and relased. Got this one dragging a swimbait


Somewhere I have a pic of two 25-26 inch fish I caught in 3 casts one evening on a lime red head vib-e

My biggest was a 27 inch, nearly 8lber, from Indian in 2009. Lite little tap on a 3 inch twister tail. Had no net so I had to beach him. As I got him on shore the line snapped and almost lost him.

My biggest Saugeye came from Alum Creek 4 or 5 years ago - It was right around 7 Lbs - Funny thing was I, was crappie fishing near the 36/37 bridge and did not have my net with me. There was a guy close to me bass fishing and he actually came over and netted it from his boat.
