I'm not sure on who the guy is or how he caught it but this thing is a giant! 29.5" long pushing 10lbs.....guess they hadn't been stocked since 2004 so that's an old giant. Gorgeous dark fish would love to have that thing mounted or put at bass pro aquarium or somewhere to show it off!!

I'm assuming Outhwaite? Think there were saugeye in Riley at one time too. I had called the DNR a year or so ago and thought i asked about Outhwaite stocking but can't find the note i wrote. I sure thought it had been stocked with saugs more recently than that. Very well could be wrong tho.

That is a hell of a fish!

Huh? Bucyrus #2 is a mud hole every time i have every been there. Bucyrus #1 is pretty much the same way too. I would guess they were mistaken on the number. #3 is Riley, the smaller one on the South side of Rt 98 and #4 is Outhwaite, much bigger with no motor restrictions on the North side of 98.

#3 (aka Riley) is clear most of the year, but hard to imagine a fish like that would come out of that smaller reservoir. I've only heard rumors that #3 had saugeye anyway.... not first hand on my account.

What facebook group was this posted on?

Riley, #3, is South on CF Kiess Rd, about a quarter mile south of Outhwaites #4, and yes, riley has a few saugeyes , not like that though.Kinda hard to believe but possible about Outhwaites. First Ive heard about it and I live in Bukyrus !

There was a huge debate over this picture....on fb...when it was posted and supposedly caught was right before the warm spell we had...and I was on it days before and got off real quick and we broke through around the bank on the way off...I'm def not buying it in bucyrus...especially not at the small res it was supposedly caught at
