Norm and i struck out the weekend before, but last week the fish cooperated and Norm guided Winston "big gun" Hopkins to this nice fish on Pelican before the snows hit. Norm knows where to find 'em all year long: http://www.wildmusky.com

a good release and the new 50" size limit on Pelican means fish like this will just keep getting bigger.

congrats on a great way to cap off a good season Winnie!

Just wanted to thank Norm and everyone else on muskie first. Met alot of really good people that have helped me become a better person. I can attest that the dead sea has some huge fish in it and seeing another fish eating a sucker on the surface was an awesome sight. Unfortunately, no hooks in that fish and it may have been even bigger. BG
