Pelican Rapids Pool Hall Gang members Bob Bowers, left, and Steve Backstrom—with the Lake Lida sturgeon replica, which preserves the history of the famous 102-pound fish speared in 1948.
The replica was on display at Historic City Hall, which is now being leased for a coffee shop. The fish replica was relocated to the pool hall, where it can be viewed—generally from about 8 a.m. to noon, Monday to Saturday.
