State wildlife officials say seven state
``alternate method'' fishing records have fallen since February.

The Department of Natural Resources says six of the record fish,
including a short nose gar, a sheepshead and a spotted sucker, were
taken with a bow and arrow. The seventh, a 212-pound sturgeon, was
taken with a spear.

The fish came from waters around the state, including the
Wisconsin River in Grant County, the Mississippi and Trempealeau
rivers and Lake Winnebago. A complete list of the record holders is
available on the DNR's Web site.
