Location: Lake Tomahawk, Musky Central, USA | Finally decided it was time to organize..I have no idea how I had so many baits stuffed in 5 boxes but I'm glad I did this...I found a TON of baits that I'd been looking for since last season. Just sharing the pics, because this blew my mind...a lot of these baits were from when I was starting out before I was in kindergarten..and are all part of my dad and I's "arsenal"! I'm only a quarter of the way done organizing, as I know we've got a lot more boxes in my house, at our cabin..not to mention every doorway in my house has a ton hanging...jeeze! The pics with the mounts are in my dad's shop..but that's kinda an example of the inside of my house, look to the ceiling haha. Between an old time musky fishermen and an avid lure collector, then throw me in the mix as another...it's insane. These are just the baits though..we've got too many avids and c#'s and I just recently
switched over to a calcutta and compre set up...til I started using my dads Croix Legend Tournament rod with his calcutta..that thing is sweeeeet.
There are a lot of custom baits in here, from Hi-Fin to Hughes River..lots of signed stuff...
Just a little sharing:)
The BB codes aren't on I guess....and none of these are smaller than 200kb so I can't get them up on here, use the link if interested. Thanks

Location: Land of the Musky | Hey I see you have one of the musky whisky bottles! Tried to win that a few time now on some auction sites. Always get outbid. One heck of a collection! Like the fish mounts too. If thats only 25% I can't wait to see the pictures of all the lures layed out. |

Location: Lake Tomahawk, Musky Central, USA | I'm not even going to go further than I did...everything else is organized already lol....these were just the baits from the past year or 2 since I've gotten big into Musky Fishing again and out of the party life...I mean I was partying a little bit while fishing too, that's why I had such a huge mess! My dad the taxidermist has been collecting antique musky stuff for many many years...I'm like wtf...we have no room anymore! Yet things keep adding up..hahah I love it.
All I keep thinking when I go back out there or pass by the garage as I'm cutting grass right now, is "Wow that is too much" followed by "nah I need more". hahaha, sick! |

Location: Lake Tomahawk, Musky Central, USA | That was my whole plan....now I'm second guessing it...keep thinkin "well I'll need that someday"....again..the disease!
I have a Gapen reel I got last year that I just don't like after upgrading to a calcutta, and maybe 10 or so baits I would like to get rid of...but still..that thought...dang it! |

| Cool man. Thanks for sharing. I like the mounts on the wall the best. Must be nice to have a Dad as a taxidermist (jealousy). |
