Do you think he has that typical"lounge" style thing going??


Actually I would like to hear him speak, but it is a bit far for me!

Hey John, that is great to hear, i just might be there that weekend. I'd love to meet Tony (again). I did shake his hand way back in the 80s. He is a truly living legend. Is there a charge for admission?

You don't want to miss Tony Rizzo. He is full of years and years of knowledge to share and loves to do so. He has caught more fish over 30 lbs than most of us could even dream about. He has hundreds of pictures of his clients and he can give you a date, name and details on every fish caught. No matter how many seminars you listen to.............THIS IS THE "ONE" YOU WANT TO HEAR!

Tony Rizzo has probably helped more people catch their first muskie and their biggest muskie than any other fisherman, writer, speaker or fishing personality. I have been reading his articles, books and listening to him speak for 40 years and still learn things when I listen to one of his seminars.

Tony has innovated many of the tools and tactics we all use today to catch muskies. He was the first to write about weighting jerk baits, he was the first to make maribou buck tails, he was the first to make tube style bucktails. And he wrote about using large bladed buck tails for certain conditions 40 years ago.

Many people claim to be pioneers in fishing deep water suspended muskies, but Tony was certainly the first one to write about it. Tony's record on big fish is amazing. He has probably caught more 30 pound muskies form Wisconsin inland lakes than any other fisherman living or dead. While many fisherman are running to Canada and Minnesota to catch trophy fish, Tony is still quietly catching them at home in Vilas County. One of his clients caught a 37 - 38 pound muskie in Vilas County in 2012. Definitely worth going to see him talk.
