Ireton Man Catches Tagged Walleye

November 22, 2014

(Spirit Lake)– An Ireton man this past weekend caught one of those specially tagged walleyes that managed to elude anglers on the Iowa Great Lakes during Walleye Weekend a couple of weeks ago. Thane Johnson of Kabele’s Trading Post says he first got word of it around 8:00 a.m. Sunday after getting a call from one of his employees…(click here for comment from Johnson.).

Sanow tells KUOO news he caught the specially tagged walleye early Sunday on the north shore of Big Spirit Lake…(click here for comment from Sanow.).

Sanow, who was registered in the extended contest, says he had all he could do to contain himself upon discovering the tag on the fish…(click here for comment from Sanow.).

Sanow will win 20 percent of the proceeds that were taken in from the entries in the extended contest, which continues through Labor Day.
