The Minnesota DNR is having a confiscated equipment auction beginning Friday. Glen Schmitt from Outdoor News joined me on WJON. The auctions will be held online at www.hillerauction.com. The auctions are scheduled for Aug. 26 and Oct. 7. Schmitt says the DNR has done this 12 years and basically they auction off equipment they've confiscated/seized from violators in the past year.
Unfortunately, the fish couldn’t be recognized as a state record since photos of the measurements and release weren't taken. Regardless, an incredible memory was made!
