| WTG's to Tuffdaddy and Kevin. Schweik and Hilman win again. If there was a World Musky Ranking, I suspect these guys would be on top. And they may not even have company in the top five. Just leave the next 4 spaces blank, and resume at #6! hehehe
Kudo's also to Justin Gaiche for a good finish on Sunday. |

Location: Wausau, Wisconsin | I wont tell, but you can bet I was throwing something close all day Sunday! :-)...secret weapons...secret weapons! I watched them catch their first fish on Saturday. Phil didn't even get to make a cast before Pete hooked his. I got half a cast in before I said, "Oh Jesus...here they go again." Secret weapon: A bucket full of steam and a dozen rose eggs, mix em up with a barrel of goldfish legs, hang them up to dry in the midnight sun and then you fry them until their done. -Louis Prima- |
