Location: Land of the Musky | My guess is he will only catch a small 58" this year. That is small for Tom  |

| Don't know the man. But from what I've heard? Well, I don't know what he'll catch, but I'd bet he will be out fishing long after most guys have their boats put away for the season. |

Location: Hopefully on the water | I would guess somewhere between late next week and/or the first part of the week of the 22nd with the full moon on the 21st. Hope he gets a shot at another beast this year. |

Location: Stevens Point, WI | He's probably not even on the water yet. That guy waits until he has to break ice in order to roll troll. I also heard he rows against the current and the wind all day long and eats a dozen eggs with a huge stack of pancakes and a steak for breakfast and a whole deer he kills with his bare hands each day for supper. |

Location: Eagle River, WI | I saw him last 2 weekends ago rowing into a 20 mph wind. I was complaining about how difficult it was to control my boat and that I wasn't going to have enough battery to make it all day, when Gelb went past me and waved.
What a way to make a guy feel like a ####y. Thanks old man. |

Tom Gelb doesn't sleep. He rows.
When Tom Gelb rows, the boat doesn't move forward. The lake moves back.

Location: Pigeon Forge TN. | Yes he did have a 49'r and I have the picture for my album. And let me be the first to say, That if he can out row you, he sure isn't old by any chance. I would love to fish with Tom but I can never get away much to fish period.
You go Tom. The giant is just waiting for you. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | If he's still in the boat he was a couple years back it is a glass row troller he was trying to get built/marketed through Heckels. Nice rig, but a little spendy. |

| "Since he retired in 1997, his blue Kuehl row boat can be seen regularly on many northern Wisconsin waters from opening weekend until the water turns hard in November."

But welldriller, wasn't it also comforting to know that if you encountered trouble on the water that day, he would be there to save your candy ___? 
Tom is (without question) one of the true heroes of our sport IMHO! |

| Tom Gelb doesn't sleep, he waits.
Sharks have a Tom Gelb week.
Tom Gelb can slam a revolving door shut. |

| Tom Gelb doesn't row his boat gently down a stream. He doesn't do anything gently. |
