| None! In the past I've tried to line things with guy's in both Minnesota and Wisconsin thru friends and most have fell thru!
Did get a 50" thru a Muskie INC hook up in Minnesota. |

Location: Walker, MN | A couple of M1st guys as occasional fishing partners for 8 or 10yrs now. At first it was cursed with no fish at all, kept at it, great friendships and great fish to boot. |

| Pretty much all the guys I have fished muskies with, except guides, are connections from M1st. It started with the family emergency that ended up leading me to the Spring Bay Summer Outing in 2013, where I met some of the greatest guys. We do things outside of that outing now. There's also a guy IL that offered to take me out on Kinkaid and another Vermilion buddy, Randy. |

Location: Southern WI | Helped a guy out with getting his first awhile ago but that was off lake link. Think I fished with one guy off here a couple falls ago but didn’t hit it off. Fellow Dead fan here. Come on down and fish with me if you’re dying to get out early May before your season opens up there in MN or if you’ll be attending Phish at Alpine Valley. |

Location: oswego, il | Everyone as well as where I fish can be traced back here directly or by degrees of separation. Even my involvement in M.I. is the result of Slamr and Luke Chinewalker talking me into joining in the chat room.
This site is and always be what we make of it.

Papa and I met up a few times to fish our way to and from Dead and Widespread Panic shows. So. Much. Fun. |

Ha! I fished with a younger guy last summer, little over half my age. He is a game warden and as we discussed how musky fishing has changed, in particular how releasing fish is the norm today, he tentatively asked if they were still allowed to shoot musky back when I started. Now, I didn't miss that era by much but boy did that make me feel old! |

Location: Athens, Ohio | They had to outlaw shooting muskies in Kentucky a while back.
Folks were waiting til the fish got in the bottom of the boat and that caused some problems. m |

On a trip to Kentucky Lake some years ago, we were getting ready to head out. Couldn't help but notice the bikini clad hottie boarding her new fiberglass ski boat. All of a sudden there was a blood curdling scream, and the sound of gunshots.. It turned out there was a snake under the console.
I don't know how the snake made out, but there were a half dozen .45 holes through the deck of the boat. |

It was outlawed in WI in 1965. I had actually fished for musky one summer before then with the owner of the little 3 cabin resort where we were staying. He was a long time musky fisherman, but said he had never used a gun, rather a gaff and a club. I asked him about the stories of people shooting holes in their boats and he said there were lots of stories but didn't personally know anybody that had done it. He made the reasonable observation that a firearm in the hands of someone all excited about catching a musky might not be a real good idea. I wonder if Larry Ramsell has done any research about this. |

How to endear us older guys.
Lots and lots of friends and hours in a boat. Slamr is being facetious. Shocking. |

Location: Athens, Ohio | I was there when they tore down the building to make room for erecting the 'old school'. Like my Aunt Bea used to say, "I'm older than my teeth and younger than my gums!"
And, forgot to list Norm Wild, Gene Daul, Toncat, MikeHulbert, and I think there's still a few back in the fuzzy part of my brain that I'm not recalling. m |

| When I was a young guy everybody said "boy they anybody drive" or " if you hook one of those Muskie it will pull you in the lake" The first 31 years in California I was the young guy the last 30 years in Colorado I was the old guy. I don't remember being just right! If I wanted a beer I did not dare leave my house without my ID till was about 45. To all you younger guy's blink and few times and before you know it people think your old. And for the record I'm not old! |

| I fished with a lot of the "older guys" from this site when I was a younger guy, and I remember laughing to myself when they were passing Advil and Tylenol around the boat... Aside from the wealth of knowledge and skill they shared with me back then, there were some valuable "non fishing lessons" I would have had to learn the hard way:
- You don't have to beat the water to a froth if you know where to put a cast and when.
- You can throw a pounder all day if you want, or you can throw a pounder where and when conditions warrant
- There's no shame in taking a break or throwing smaller lures
- There's also no shame in going back to the cabin for a few hours when nothing is moving
- Always carry toilet paper and wipes
- Wear comfortable shoes
- You can fish better and longer if you don't stay up until 2:00 am drinking
- If fish have been moving in the afternoon, there's no reason to start at 6:00 am |
