Location: SE, WI. | The biggest copout I ever heard...."I don't care if I catch them, I just want to see them". There is always the Zoo! My favorite from Tom Gelb..."If you always DO what you always DONE, You will always GET what you always GOT". From Buck Perry..."The fish are deep, shallow, or in Between". From Spence..."If your not one step ahead, your one step Behind". One from Worrall..."He who hits the bottom the most wins". From SVL...."The only rules in musky fishing is there is NONE"...Which I don't necessarily agree with! Sorry SVL.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | 'Fishing Muskies at first is alot like pursuing your first kiss..(and what might follow). You believe you know what to do, and what your reaction will be when somehow success finds it's way into the pursuit; but when it actually HAPPENS...Not so much. And once you've completed the mission, One then, if 'hooked' on the experience, spends the rest of one's life trying to repeat it, only better. Women are particularly well emotionally equipped, perhaps much better so than men, for the inevitable disappointment'
Condensed from the last Muskies Inc International Banquet at Milwaukee ( I think it was 1986) from my keynote presentation. Patty Slack bit me on the arm onstage when I handed her the Womens Division Trophy. Hard. |

"I don't want to hear uhhh ohhh right now" That is what my dad said to me after I grabbed the net with him having fish on more than once.

| It ain't the size of the whopper you lost,
Nor the species or weight that will grieve you.
The problem you face, not to mention the cost,
Is to get some #*^@ fool to believe you. |

| Best advice regarding musky fishing
"Musky fishing is like that song you know, 'believe half of what you see and none of what you hear'"
"If you really enjoying fishing and catching fish, you should pick another species!"
|
|

|

Location: Northern Wisconsin | "Nothing makes a fish bigger than almost being caught."
And Ill be sure to use this one the next time im critisized for releasing a musky: "Catch and Release fishing is a lot like golf. You don't have to eat the ball to have a good time." |

Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | This exchange went on ~14 years ago while on Canadian flyin. My boat partner that day was a hardcore bass & walleye guy (no walleyes in this lake) who would shake any muskie off at the boat w/ exclamation- "slimey rotten fish". Late afternoon we pull up on a large reef complex. Me" I'll bet there are some big old muskies eatin' all your smallies on this spot!" Him: "Humph! - F*&%y&%!" Two casts later, I'm into a 50" fish. Me: "It's a big one" Him: "Just shake the bastard off at the boat!" Me: "Why don't you lip her for me like you do with those bait fish you've been catching all day?"
Have fun!

That's a 48"er!......."49...with teeth like fillet knives."
