Big muskies weighed in at Baudette and Walker, while Lake of the Woods yields strong walleye limits. Brainerd and Bemidji regions report varied success with northerns, bass, crappies, and sunfish among the prominent catches. Notable weights include a 9-4 walleye from Grand Marais and a 30-pound Lake of the Woods muskie from Painted Rock.
