| Big Congrats to Jeff!
Very impressive fish! So nice to finally have the confirmed 50"s coming from the Mad-Chain. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving angler...goes to show that there is some justice in the muskie world!!
Way to go, Jeff!

Location: Contrarian Island | Sweet fish...Very well deserved as others have said the guy with the most hours out there gets the 50's!
C+R at work as I would bet those fish had visited Jeffs net in the last 10+ yrs. Congrats! |

| Hey Jeff, Thanks for the phone call!!!!! WTF!
Most of what I've learned about musky fishing was taught to me while fishing in Jeff's Esox Magnum. If I didn't learn it there, I learned it at the kitchen table while watching Jeff eat amazing amounts of Lasagna!
Oh, on a side note, I saw a 50 with Jeff in Madison five or six years ago. I knew there were there, and I knew he'd get one.
Congrats buddy!

| Congratulations, Jeff! Lots of talk the last few years about 50's in the chain, nice to see it's finally become reality. I think everybody said the same thing about it which was basically "when it happens it will be Hanson that does it..."

| I'm glad it was someone who puts their time in. As others have said, this guy is there when you show up and still there when your leaving. If there is a such thing as deserving it, Jeff does!!!!!
BIG CONGRATS!! |

Location: Yahara River Chain | Yes, I heard of a few myself, but if someone doesn't come forward, how are we to know? I'm sure there were some, but it is they are 1st one registered with the Cap City club.
I also heard of a 60 incher caught, but when we saw the pictures it came up a foot short.

| Jeff,
You are one of a handful of guys that makes this sport the "best in class". Your integrity and dedication to musky fishing makes you a true role model. My 12 year old son Tyler has a unique opportunity to fish with you from time to time and when we are on the "chain", he always comments where to fish because Hanson took us there. You are setting the right example for the Musky Fishermen of tomorrow (the kids), showing them that with hard work and patience, you can achieve anything. Thanks for being that role model. Stop and Enjoy this moment. Its well deserved. Personal congrats from Tyler and me.

Location: Madtown, WI | As like many others here that posted that I know...Jeff got me INTO muskie fishing many moons ago....He set the ground work and I learned a ton from him over those first few years.....MANY hours I have spend in his boat and I can honestly say folks that he has "It".....
How many guys can work 10 hour days doing construction and then put another 5 or 6 (I have seen 8-10)hours on the water...day in and day out...
Hard working fish catching SOB....
Hats off Jeff....As jeff would say in his sarcastic tone...."I'm proud of ya!"
Very cool....Congrats.
Cory

| After getting a ton of e-mails Yes both fish were caught on crankbaits.
The MX6 is made by Muskietrain Muskietrain.com or Jim from Dorn Midvale has the order forms.As does Jim from Rollie's I don't know if they have them in stock
Muskymagnet is also a Crankbait not to be confused with the Jerkbait totaly different thing They are made by Kermitt Good from Detroit all made by hand by him. I have caught 7 Muskie over 50" and 25 over 45" on his baits 1-810-706-1728
Thanks,
Jeff |

| Congratulations again to Jeff on boating 4 Madison monsters! We were all hoping for a long time that the first verfied 50 from Madison would be caught by a dedicated, well respected musky angler so there would be no questions. Jeff certainly fits that profile! Jeff is well deserving of these fish. Congrats again Jeff!
