| Steve Worrall...."We're talking and we can't shut-up! And neither will that little freakin' dog in "Yapping Dog Bay". Always a pleasure when us old farts get together.
Mike Koeppe......Like jumping in the boat with someone that I've known my whole life. Always a good time, whether we catch fish in the first 15 seconds or not. Never run out of stuff to talk about.

Location: Wausau, Wisconsin | Jonny, I do what I can. I believe anyone who has met Gare knows there is a certain "being" about him that truely spells. "Too much time on the waters....Must....catch...muskies". Great guy. Also loved your Reef Hawg/Perch photo. Pelican I presume????

Location: Antioch, IL | I can't say enough good things about Bill Sandy, Blackhawk Island LOTW. That guy can just flat out fish! I have to force myself to fish instead of watching him work a monster Suick through a fallen tree like a hot knife through butter or taunt a big girl into action with the way he dances a crankbait to life. He has definatley shown me how to use several baits to there fullest potential (not that I've pulled it off yet). Tons of excellent tips and pointers all day long and it is a long day of fishing with Billy. I can't remember ever coming in with the sun still up. There is never a question as to where I will be for one week in every July (and I'm trying like hell to do a couple days in September/October). Billy puts you on BIG fish every time out. |

Location: minocqua, wi. | Crank .... the perch picture was for real, but on Fence Lake ... slow gliding a reef hawg through .... can you say a "pile" of baitfish! ... that was amazing. i marked a monster on my graph that day that must have had too much better to eat than my reef hawg ... that place scares me the fish are so big ... almost makes you think you're in Minnesota! .... Gare has certainly had some time on the water ... lol |

Location: Appleton, WI | Howie Meyer of 7islands in Presque Isle, I have had the privelage of fishing with him and getting to know him. He has a wealth of knowledge, great stories and knows there is never a bad day on the water. He will share his knowledge also. Always great to be out there with Howie. |

Location: New Berlin,Wisconsin,53151 | I have the pleasure to fish with Captain Mike Keop (Extreme One) numerous times and you learn something new everytime out.
Frank Walsh from Oak Island LOTW was great, plus the donation of the trip for the Kly Memorial. If you want to pound all day he is the guide. Knows the lake well, hang on to something in the boat.
Steve Cady will keep you laughing even though your fishing a sewer. Plus the view of the full moon in Minnesota will scar your brain forever.

| Looks like some of you have spent more money on guides than I have rigging my entire boat.
For northern Minnesota lakes:
Jim Burke
Brad Banaszak
Mike Marra
Daryl/Deron Roche
And they'll take you fishing for free and put fish in the boat. |

| Jimmy Burke's ability to put you on big muskie is not only in MN. The last 3 DAYS I fished with Jim in WI, I landed a 41.5, 43.5 and 46. By the way, those are the first 3 muskie I have ever caught in that order. Couldn't have done it with out you Jim! My game WAS golf, but since I landed those 3 muskie, I am "hooked"! I'm ready when you are Jim. Canada is next!!

Location: Wausau, Wisconsin | Fence Lake? No, no big ones in there!  I remember a few years ago when that guy caught the 40 plus pounder out there on a bulldawg late in the year. Photo looked like the things dreams are made of. There are a few "not so well known" lakes in that area that hold fish that make your head spin. I wish I had more time to fish in that area like I use to. I've got a cool video of a 46" tiger we caught over that way that went airborne in October. Very cool! Just imagine, only 5 months to go! Might not make it. Feeling a Kinkad trip coming on in the next months. |
