Location: Pewaukee, WI | Mike "extreme one" Koepp is recovering from shoulder surgery on monday to repair injuries he sustained in a "Packer Game half time tip-up incident on Pewaukee Lake"
Seems he tried to put the hurt on the ice with his shoulder while chasing out to the tip-up. The good news is he still iced the 19.5" walleye...the bad news is fractures, surgery, 8 screws and 15 staples to repair the damage.
Rumor has it he didnt want to be sedated during surgury so he could watch the end of the Packer game, and wanted to know if he could still get back out on the ice that night.
Currently Mike is resting at home.
(He is still able to drink Corona's and type with one finger on the computer so drop him a line and send your best.)
Get well soon Pal!

| Never give up,never give up,never give up.
Winston Churchill IS CREDITED WITH THAT QUOTE; But I think he heard it first from a PACKER fan. Just my opinion though. |

Location: Wauwatosa, Wisconsin | Sorry to hear about your shoulder, Mike. Hope it heals well and fast, and be faithful to that phys therapy. Are you gonna need to learn to cast with the other arm now? or you gonna be doing ALL trolling?

| That's why he is called The EXTREME One!
Broke shoulder, and he still lands the fish, and I bet he tried to stay out there, even when in immense pain.
You guys better look out. While laid up, he'll be looking at lake maps for next summer. He's the best I know at picking apart a lake! Now, he'll be even better.
Get well soon, Mike. I know Deb is already sick of you laying around the house!

Location: Brookfield, WI | Wow, Professor, that sucks. I'll rummage around in the garage for an old pair of golf shoes that have metal spikes. Maybe keep you on your feet.
Will you be giving lectures in the Waterfront Musky College while you're healing?

Seriously, do what the Dr. says. Don't screw it up any worse by rushing things.

Location: Racine, Wi | That bites daddio. Make sure not to take all the pain pills at once. Only one per 12 pack.
Heal up fast Mike. If you need me to make sure your Ranger still catches fish, let me know.  |
