Dick Koerner interviewed Ed Gorchals for the People of the Sturgeon: Wisconsin's Love Affair with an Ancient Fish project. Ed Gorchals was born on October 1, 1928, in Kaukauna, Wisconsin, and has lived in Larsen, Wisconsin, for many years, where he resides close to the lake with a channel at the back of his house. The interview begins with Gorchals recounting his early interest in sturgeon spearing, influenced by friends and the teachings of John Jorgensen’s father, who was instrumental in introducing Gorchals to the sport.
