Bare hook nets 34-pound mudcat in Wisconsin river
A 14-year-old boy, Adam Hesselberg of West Salem, caught a 34-pound 39.5-inch mudcat below the Neshonoe Dam using a bare treble hook and 30-pound line. He lifted the fish ashore himself after a 15 to 20 minute battle, without a landing net, while angling for jumbo carp. The column also notes variable fishing success and local conditions during a vacation period.
