Have a great Holiday Season, a great Christmas, and a Great New Year!!  May the 2004 muskies always be willing, the skies always at least partly cloudy, and the winds always moderate, and at your back.

Best holiday wishes to everybody and their families. I hope everybody gets something special for the upcoming season. If not, like me you will be parusing the sports shows.

Ho, Ho, Ho,  Merry Christmas to all at MF! A special Happy Holiday's to Ranger & family. Ranger - I hope all is well with you, Wendy and the family . There are very few in your class and it's been a pure pleasure to share a boat with you chasing Muskies in the past.  Give me a call when you get settled.

Merry Christmas

Happy Holidays to all.Hope 2004 is even better for everyone in accomplishing your Musky goals.I bought my son 7 Musky baits for Christmas, but when I went to wrap them, I couldn,t part with 4 of them, so I had to go back to the store to get a gift certificate to give him with the 3 that were left. I have no will power as far as Musky lures.Good Fishing.

You are all a great bunch and I want to thank you for all your help, stories, and encouragement in 2003. Make the most of your time with friends and family over the holidays.

Here's to making some great memories on the water with our special friends in 2004!

God Bless you all!

Once upon a time
In a far off land
Wisemen saw a sign
and set off across the sand
Songs of praise to sing
they traveled day and night
precious gifts to bring
guided by the light

They chased a brand new star
ever toward the west
across the mountains far
and when it came to rest
They scarce believed their eyes
They'd come so many miles
and this miracle they prized
was nothing but a child.

And nothing but a child
can wipe the tears away
and guide a weary world
into the light of day
And nothing but a child
can help erase the miles
so once again we all
can be children for a while.

Now all around the world
in every little town
everyday is heard
a precious little sound
And every mother kind
and every father proud
looks down in awe to find
another chance allowed.

And nothing but a child
can wipe the tears away
and guide a weary world
into the light of day
And nothing but a child
can help erase the miles
so once again we all
can be children for a while.

Merry Christmas and Gods blessing to you and your children.
Don't forget about the one child that saved us all.

And to Slamr and the rest of our friends who don't celebrate Christmas, may your Holiday Season bring you joy.

Let's all pray for peace on earth and goodwill to men and women of all faiths. It's time for this world to get its act together. Let's lead by example.
Beav and Becky and Taylor

I have two tips to make your christmas more enjoyable:

If your gathering is at noon,show up around 9am.
Do the muskies inc. shuffle. As soon as the last gift is opened get up and say "ok we are out of here" and leave.

merry christmas everyone!

Hey Davej, a friend of mine plays guitar and dobro(sp), and we volunteered to do that song at my daughters "Holiday/Winter program" with the kids singing along with the chorus. I don't think that there is a better song for The Holidays for anybody who has kids, and it is SO politically correct, but the music teacher shot it down....because we're not affiliated with school. He can remember my non-affiliation the next time that they want help to set up tables and chairs or need volunteers for anything else.
The pastor at our church said he'll put us up in the choir loft next year right at the beginning of the childrens sermon.
I have a tough time getting through that song without getting choked up.

Hi Gang,
Merry Christmas from the hinterland.

Thanks all you freaks for improving my year in 2003. Great to meet many of you in Morson and Cass Lake, and to see others again and get to know a really great group.

Your enthusiasm is contagious, esp you guys like Mikie and Ranger Rick.
People who gave me rides like those 2 and Shady, Treats, GregM, Mike's "Extreme" Keopp (I'll get those spinnerbaits before spring, I promise) and his cool friend Bruce.

Thanks Gene for arranging the ride for Coach Bob, and putting him on his biggest fish ever. Thanks SteveH for getting him home. Thanks Teck for getting me home Sunday, you allowed me 2 extra days to fish! And thanks JohnMD for catching that monster with Schram on board. If I have my numbers straight, that's the ONLY muskie he successfully netted this season. Scared the rest away.

Thanks Muskie First guys for the site, outings planning, and your generosity.

It's tough to meet cool people these days. Nice to have stumbled upon such a concentration here.

Peace & Happiness in 2004 (and of course more big fish!),
Papa Joe

Wow, 2004. That seems almost impossibe to me. As I get older ( something I can't seem to sidestep) time seems to be speeding up. 2003 was a great Muskie year, and went by me like a streak. How the heck does one slow this down??

Happy New year, everyone. Be safe New Year's Eve, and may your net be wet ALOT in 2004.
