Either way sauger or saugeye a nice catch on gull island shoal the taxidermist said he believed it was a sauger but would call and let me know when he started to skin it if it wasn't since it was frozen and wrapped in bag with newspaper . He said the gap between the first and second dorsal was farther apart than a saugeye would be also said the 2 spines sticking up behind the second dorsal also meant it was a sauger. Either way it was a nice looking fish sorry for the picture not having more angles of it still a cool catch either way sauger or saugeye a rare catch on Erie . Just going on what we have been told.
