Muskie Mojo is the source of everyone's favorite walk-the-dog topwater lure, the Weagle. The lure lineup has been dramatically expanded this year to include the "Wild Action" series of soft-tail lures: W.A. Weagles, 10" Weagles, and Wabulls. Also new this year are Baby Wabulls and Baby Weagles with rattles, and the "Howie", a wobbler-style topwater designed by famous northwoods guide Howie Meyer himself!

Kids were holding the computer hostage last night so I did not get to check the contest until I got to work this morning. I panicked so I grabbed the digital camera and took a picture of a group of pictures on my office wall in the office. Contest did not say it had to be a good picture right?

Location: Twin Cities | Elvis was a black belt in karate. He took up martial arts under the shotokan sensei Jürgen Seydal, while fulfilling his military duties in Germany in 1958. He was awarded his black belt before he returned to the United States, in 1960, by the chito-ryu instructor Hank Slemansky. Elvis’s love of martial arts continued throughout his life. His favourite form of fighting became American Kenpo.

Location: Illinois | Elvis wanted to serve America in anyway possible and once wrote a letter to president Nixon offering his help to infiltrate the "hippie" drug culture and the black panthers as a "Federal Agent At Large".
Why this is special because he became a "Federal Agent in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs" This is particularly ironic when Elvis's autopsy later found 14 drugs in his system, including: Codeine - Morphine - Quaaludes - Valium - Diazepam - Placidyl - Amytal - Nembutal - Carbrital - Demerol - Sinutab - Elavil - Avental - Valmid.

This is special because it is also the only two places the muskie is found. |

| Presley’s body was discovered at 2:30 p.m. Memphis time by his road manager, Jerry Esposito, in a bathroom in the singer’s multimillion-dollar Graceland Mansion. He was rushed to the Baptist Memorial, where he was met by his personal physician, Dr. George C. Nichopoulos, and pronounced dead.

Location: Illinois | The Elvis Sandwich (sometimes simply "The Elvis") is a fried sandwich consisting of peanut butter, bananas, and sometimes bacon. It was supposedly one of Elvis Presley's favorite foods in his final years.
This is special because it's terrific! Try one: Take two pieces of white bread and toast them. Spread peanut butter on one side and put sliced bananas on top of the peanut butter. Add cooked bacon. Fry sandwich on a pan with melted butter. Enjoy!
Mike Witowski
ps- I bring at least two of these things along for a snack when I go musky fishing! Then I proceed to talk musky with whoever I'm fishing with in an Elvis voice.

Location: Hayward, WI | When Elvis was 11 years old, his mother Gladys bought him a $13 guitar. When he was 13 she bought him an $11 guitar. This is significant because he may have never started his music career without that jumpstart in music.

Location: Illinois | Before discovering Elvis, Manager Colonel Tom Parker's most notable success was 'Colonel Parkers Dancing Chickens', an act which involved persuading chickens to perform by sticking them on an electric hotplate.
|
|
| |
|
Location: Illinois | In the 1970's his kitchen was manned 24 hours a day and became busiest around 4.30am. As Elvis was usually off his face on barbiturates and tranquilizers, he would often fall unconscious while eating. His aides frequently had to reach into his throat to remove food and stop him choking to death. This is significant because often musky anglers have to remove things from muskys mouths to keep them alive. |

99.9% sure that is a weagle on the bottom right hanging on the side of the boat. And who knows that may even be a pro edge rod under the landing net, you make the call.

If they say he is using a pro edge rod in those other pics, then theres definelty one here too. And I believe that would be a weagle hanging there in the background.

The lure lineup has been dramatically expanded this year to include the "Wild Action" series of soft-tail lures: W.A. Weagles, 10" Weagles, and Wabulls. Also new this year are Baby Wabulls and Baby Weagles with rattles, and the "Howie", a wobbler-style topwater designed by famous northwoods guide Howie Meyer himself!

Location: Medford, WI | Good job everyone; I'm sure there's a few of you that sat at the computer every opportunity you could get. I was hoping maybe I'd get some "bonus" points for using the moderators and including the sponsors in the pics. Few points shy... congrats curleytail.
Most of all...THANK YOU to Muskie Mojo, Professional Edge, and last but not least MuskieFirst for putting this contest on. I honestly don't know what I'd do with my life in the winter if it weren't for this site.
Thanks guys!

Location: Hayward, WI | This is just awesome guys! I have never won a thing in my entire LIFE. What a first prize to win! I also want to send out a big thanks to Mojo, Professional Edge, MuskieFirst... and MercKid for the encouragment...even if it did cost me a point, lol. I'm not too fancy with words, so I'm not going to try to write any smooth, flowing poetic thank you, but I can't tell you how grateful I am for all of this. THANK YOU!

Location: Hayward, WI | By the way, I wanted to tell all the guys in this thing good job. Man I got lucky a few times on some of those competitions (I got home one day and had about 8 minutes to post the Elvis thing). I was just about shaking after every competition wondering who might have scored all the points or whatever. It was fun, but man am I glad it's over - you guys are fierce competitors!
