Devils Lake, N.D. — Five anglers from Wisconsin have been caught with 100 walleye over the state limit at Devils Lake and are each facing fines of more than $1,700, according to North Dakota Game and Fish wardens.

Wardens say they got a tip about a group of men who were overfishing and staying in a rental home in Devils Lake.

WDAY-TV reports a warden found 25 whole walleye in one of the fishermen's vehicles. Another 135 cleaned and frozen walleye were found in their rental house.

The daily limit in North Dakota is 10 walleyes per person.

According to the Pioneer Press in St. Paul, Minn., the men were identified as Michael Wirkus of Racine, Donald Klatkiewicz of Mukwonago, Daniel Klatkiewicz of Hales Corners, Robert Richer Jr. of Hales Corners and Allen Lafave of Racine. A sixth angler, a juvenile, also was part of the crew.

Each angler faces fines of more than $1,700.

The group has a court date set for Aug. 18.
