Location: Kansas City BBQ Capitol of the world | I was wondering since "OutdoorsFIRST" is the Cream de la creme of the Muskie forums if any Pro Athletes fish Muskies or post here that you know of?
I remember being in a Bow shop several years ago and Bo Jackson was right in front of me buying his Bow. That was cool.
With all the teams in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Illinois and Canada surely there has to be a couple, few that fish for Muskies.
Anyone have any stories?
Thanks,
Ron |

| Bo would know musky even I bet! Man he was dominant! Someone posted a pic of Christian Laetner on here a while back. A friend who guides also has taken some former Blackhawk coaches out, or they may have been players. I can't remember names though, just that he stopped one guy from falling in on a hookset during a figure 8. Good question though, I'm sure there are plenty. |

Location: Home of the 2016 World Series Champion Cubs | NHLer Rick Zombo was a regular in the Hayward area staying at Anglers Haven on Lac Courte Orielles. I believe he mostly walleye fished but did some muskie fishing. Also a return guest guest at Anglers to fish LCO was Cincinnati Bengal Tim Krumrie. He the guy that broke his leg in Superbowl XXIII trying to tackle S.F 49'er Running Back Roger Craig on the 14th play of the game.
Hey werent the minnesota Vickings know for their affinity the outdoors and the waters in the land of 10,000 lakes while (Love) Boating? Some people might call that trolling right?
This last bit would fit better over on Whitetail First. Stanley Cup Champs L.A. Kings Staff Member and former player Bernie Nichols had his day with "The Cup" what did he do?......

| My buddy ran into Kirby Puckett (RIP) of the Twins, on Deer lake in Polk Co. before. He said he was really cool and super funny to talk to. I never pinned Kirby as a fisherman but that's cool to hear. Also, I know Matt Forte of the Bears is a big fisherman too. |

I didn't think it was possible to see "small mouth" and "Randy Moss" in the same sentence ! |

| Kirby Pucket did have a place on Deer. I used to see him back in the early 90's when I was learning to musky fish.

Location: MN | Steve Stricker from Wisconsin (PGA golfer) likes to muskie fish. Ron, back when I worked at an archery shop we used to make custom glass limbs for some of the older Jennings bows. We made a couple for Bo Jackson and a few others down south that were in the 110 lb draw weight range. Why did he want that much? Cause he could I suppose  |

Location: Home of the 2016 World Series Champion Cubs | Detroit Lakes guide Jerry Sondag knows Big Buff (Byfuglien) from playing together in their younger days. He noted that Dustin, raised in Roseau Mn, does some fishing though I thought he noted more walleyes then muskies.
Hey Jerry, sorry you werent at the Chicago show, I hope youre doing well. Always enjoyed talking muskies and hockey with you. Id still love to share a bot with you in your neck of the woods if I can only get my arse up there. |

| Joe Thomas of the Browns (and Wisconsin Badgers) is quite the outdoorsman. I've seen him catch muskies on TV. When he was picked in the draft, he was out on Lake Michigan......it was salmon opener and he had his priorities right!
