Hello all,

Just wanted to share this pic with the rest of the folks on the board. The main reason, is that this fish hit a "Jackpot" while I was out muskie fishing. In all of my 49 years of trotting around this earth, this is the first fish I have ever kept to be mounted. This was the third time in my life that I had a walleye take a swing at a muskie surface bait. The best of luck to all!

Stats:
Caught Mid-June of 02'
5' of water over heavy weed cover
"Jackpot"
Length: 29"
Weight: 8.2 lbs.

Hey Mike. Nice fish... nice mount too. But Goomba told me you snagged her while carp fishing under the 173 bridge. C'mon, we all know walleyes don't come up for Jackpots.

Let's get down to business here, The real question is what is owed to Mr. Gregg for catching that beauty. Goomba care to fill the general population in?

Hey John,

Joe Fittante did the mount. His shop is located in Antigo, WI.

I think if Mr. Gregg were to sell tickets to the event where Goomba delivers the goods, Mr Gregg may be able to recover the cost of mounting this fish.

I forgot to mention that this fish came out of the Fox Chain O' Lakes in IL.

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me Habeeb about what is owed me.

HMMM lets see the chain has now produced a couple of really nice Muskie's
a nice walleye, I know of a few really nice largemouths that were caught and of course the bikini team is usually exceptional on weekends.

Joe Fitantte does nice work! my son has a graphite of his 1st muskie (46 incher) done by Joe, The one question that I have on my mind now is should I order my 54 inch Graphite now or wait until I get back from the Sabaskong Outing so I can provide Joe with a pic?

If you all listen closely you can hear Goomba stretching trying to get that jaw in shape for his payment to Xllund.

Is that Rich OR a hungry ape eating a banana??
