| I will be driving through the minocqua, boulder junction, eagle river area of Wisconson. Are there any places to stop to view large muskie mounts? |

Location: Ludington, MI | Guide's Choice Pro Shop or Eagle Sports in Eagle River, The Musky Shop in Minocqua, Gooch's 2 in Boulder Junction, Bent's Camp toward Land-O-Lakes from Boulder ... those are a few of my favorites that come to mind. Bent's Camp is kind of a must-visit if you are close -- it's kind of a mini-museum.

| If in Land-O-Lakes, stop by Northern Edge Marine. They have a replica of the Tom Gelb, verified 50lb musky. |

Location: Brighton CO. | I saw the Lapp/Ott Hybrid in a video store in Land O Lakes and later in a bait shop in the Land O lakes area called the Minnow Bucket a long with Dick Lapps 43# Hybrid. I'm not sure if the Minnow Bucket is still there? Gelb's large mount may be in George Langley's Eagle Sports in Eagle River WI. There was a large mount of a Muskie found dead in Lac Vieux Dessert with made the rounds in the 70's in places Crossroads tackle shop in Eagle River and the last place I saw the mount was in a tackle/sporting goods store in Eagle River on the corner of Railroad St. and Wall St along with a 45 pounder caught on the Cisco Chain this place burnt down not sure if the mounts were still there? |

| That Lapp-Ott fish is my favorite muskie of All-Time. if that fish is still around it would be worth the trip. |
