Joe Grashoff of Fort Wayne, 40, caught and released this carp on West Otter Lake in Angola in August. He was teaching his kids how to carp fish using canned corn and a heavy duty ocean pole, just as his father had taught all his children to do while growing up at Messick Lake.

Jackson Ware, 6, from Fort Wayne, caught a 12-inch largemouth bass at uncle Mike and aunt Les' Big Otter Lake dock in Steuben County in August.
