| All of the fish in these pictures were caught in Northern Minnesota! No teathering, The fish in the livewell are just chillin! They will sit there all day and fin, I think they actually love it because it has to be quite a bit warmer with thee ole sun beating down on there backs! Its also fun when I have clients with there kids because I promise you there is nothing that keeps a kids attention better than a 46 inch monster swimming by their feet all day! |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Cut my teeth on Largemouth Bass, and still love fishing them. Smallmouth are a close second. Walleyes some, but panfish more than any game fish than Muskies, because I like eating panfish....allot.
I really like Ice Fishing. Headed out in about an hour! |

Location: Lake Tomahawk, WI | I enjoy fishing for everything I can. Grew up fishing LMB and panfish, and now with young nephews and nieces that are getting into fishing I find myself getting back into 'fishing for bait'. I'm also addicted to eating fresh fish so early ice pike, walleyes, and late ice crappies are pretty high on the list! Salmon on the big pond for the full coolers at days end, and big flatheads on the rivers to test the tackle. Gotta have that variety!!!

| not tethered, you just whack a holding tank in the ice and keep them nice and lively...better than cleaning them frozen stiff as a board! |

| Anything with gills and fins. I'm an equal opportunity angler. I agree 100% with BN that some of the best muskie anglers I know are also fantastic multi-species anglers and this is no accident. Love the "Coastie" in the pic with the monster Pike! Nice!!! |

Seriously that is awesome....it would keep me entertained all day whether I caught them or not! Email on it's way....I'd love to take my wife and let her catch some of those things. |

| I find myself doing more and more flyfishing in the Great Lakes tribs. I have become addicted to it. Something about the simple one on one battle between man and fish, I guess. No boat, no motor, no $50 dollar lure, depth finder, GPS, side scan, or ultra heavy duty equipment. I tie my own flies, and knotted leader.
We also fish for Smallmouth, pike, and sometimes walleye, with conventional tackle.
I do most of my Musky "fishing" underwater with a camera these days. The challenge is to get within inches of the fish, or capture footage of some previously unfilmed behavior. It's hard for me to go musky fishing these days, and not wish I was down there with the fish. |

| I fish for these in the spring and may start doing some fall fishing too. Night casting with bass tackle. Also have largemouth, walleye, gar and channel cats caught this way in the last year, same water. Season is usually done by mid to late may. But if you get down to KY to fish musky in March, this is something you ought to try and take a shot at while your here.

| Another mid-summer favorite for me is walking down the middle of a small river and fishing for Smallies with a spinning reel outfit. It's somewhat like the midwesteners' version of trout fishing, to me. They're not giants in there, but you can hook up with a dozen or so on some days. |

How do those things eat? I am heading down next March to fish Stripers, and want to know if they are worth the fillet knife exercise. |

| I ice fish a fair amount. Let almost all fish go but about one day out a year I keep enough for a couple dinners worth. I do some occasional bass fishing too in the spring... kinda going back to my fishing roots. Other than that some very rare cat fishing and stuff but since musky fishing not much anymore.

Location: Northern Wisconsin | I enjoy wading the river by my house and catching smallies on UL spinning gear. Its a blast fighting them in the current and I also have a shot at big walleyes, flat heads, and pike that will all hit small lures. If muskies are present in a body of water that im fishing id say about 90 percent of my time is fishing for them. |

| I've eaten several pounds of them in SC when I lived there. They eat good. Just cut out the dark lateral line and it's all white meat. Chunk em and deep fry em. |
