Photos: Herring eggs are 'Lake Superior Gold' for Grand Marais fishery

Harley Toftey pulls in a 300-foot-long gill net on to the bow of his Boston Whaler, about a half-mile off the Grand Marais harbor in a turbulent Lake Superior on Nov. 8, 2012. Toftey has fished lake herring in the big lake for 31 years and said there are more herring now in Lake Superior than there have ever been since he began fishing.
