OSHKOSH - The 2013 sturgeon spearing season wraps up in three days, but before then some lucky spearers got the fish of a lifetime.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says the harvest picked up slightly Thursday, with a total of 14 fish (2 juvenile females, 6 adult females, and 6 males) being harvested from Lake Winnebago.

Thursday’s harvest brings the season total on Lake Winnebago to 260 fish and a total system-wide harvest of 521 fish.

The DNR says two fish weighing more than 100 pounds were registered Thursday.

The big fish of the day (73.7", 102.1 pounds) was harvested by Kyle Boelter and registered at Jerry's Bar.
