Fishing: Squirrel Hill fisherman adds two more to record list

Gerry Chesin, the Squirrel Hill businessman who set three world line-class records in the same week fishing Canada's Northwest Territory a year ago, has just set two more.

He returned to Lac La Martre the last week of June and boated a 27-pound, 12-ounce, 49-inch northern pike and a 29 1/2-pound, 42 1/2-inch lake trout -- both on 8-pound tippet.

Chesin took the pike on the morning of June 24 on a red-and-white Quigley Special, a streamer fashioned by his friend Frank Quigley of Allison Park. He got the laker the evening of June 26 on an orange and red Quigley streamer, patterned after a Five of Diamonds. These streamers helped him catch five of the six International Game Fish Association line-class trophies he has earned over the years.
