Location: WI - Land of small muskies and big jawbones | You have one weeks vacation to take anytime between May 1st & the end of October and you want the best odds of catching a 50" muskie during that week. You have to choose between only Wisconsin or Minnesota. Which would you choose?

Location: oswego, il | IF you are looking for a 50"er then minnesota is your best bet. Plenty of other reasons to choose one over the other but for the reason you gave it's minnesota. |

| I used to spend 2-3 weeks in Wisconsin for decades. After 1 trip to MN, that's where I spend my vacations now.....and not just for the muskies.

Location: Ft. Wayne Indiana | Pretty easy answer, Minnesota.
Or you could always head down to Indiana and spend a week with me!! ha ha
If you are looking for that magic 50 incher, MN is not a sure thing as nothing is in musky fishing is, but your chances are a lot better in MN. |

Location: Greenfield, WI | For sheer numbers of 50" plus fish caught year after year, Pewaukee Lake, in SE Wisconsin is tough to beat. For its accessibility from my home you can't beat it. But for a week vacation, I don't think so. Somehow, it just doesn't remind me of pristine up north muskie waters! |

| I spend more time in WI, but MN has developed into an awesome fishery. The nice thing about WI is the enormous number of lakes with muskies, and the WI A+ lakes give you a legitimate shot at a 50 incher. MN has much fewer lakes with muskies, but several of the top MN lakes offer you the best chance at a 50 right now, maybe even better than Canada.  |

| I must add, that when I go to MN, it's a family vacation.
I can have a legit shot at a 50=" fish, lots of pike, big blugills and perch and walleyes too.
I haven't found anywhere in WI where I can do that. Take the muskies out of the equation, and I'd never fish anywhere else but The Mississippi River.......HEY! I'm fishing both states at the same time!
