    I fished Kentuck lake(just west of Eagle River) for a few hours tonight for Muskies . We had four follows, one fish looked to be in the 45-46″ class. Water temp was 60 and they were a little tentative. May flies were poppin and I wished I would have brought a fly rod as the Smallies were hammerin em!

    Tom :

    That whole deal sounds like a lot of fun. If you ever do that again, let me know a couple of days in advance and I would love to drag my boat over or drive over and let’er rip. Got a fly rod and five of them pool cues. Fished Little Lake Tomahawk for my first trip after the muskies. It was maybe a little to early to try for them after dark, but when its the only time you can fish… A good friend of mine has been having a ball with them on topwaters last weekend. One hooked and landed by his wife (36″) and several over 40″ at the boat or striking behind the topwater.

    Good fishin’!!!

    Tom:

    My best nights are Monday and Tuesday. Right now I have a party (golf outing for Children’s Miracle Network) on June 30. My parents are coming up the weekend before that and this upcoming Monday I have a staff training session on wine service. There are a couple other lakes over there that I would like to try. Let’s stay in touch!!!

    Holy Hannah!!! Talk about versatility and well roundedness! You’re going a direction I would have NEVER connected to you! And………….I don’t mean that insultingly………it’s just uncommon enough that I’m taken surprise by it! Believe me……………it’s I’m just a bit

    So……..any plans to showcase those pipes at the GTG this year?

    That may be arranged Kid. Ask James about the notes I hit when one of those viscious Willow Cats nailed me!

    Tom:

    Are you singing bass, baritone or tenor? When I was younger, I played more than one instrument, sang in the school choir and church choir and all those little groups associated with chorus. I had a band in the Club tonite that is seven pieces and some of them play backup in Joe Bucher’s blues band. I think they said they were going down to Summerfest in a couple of weeks. I sure would like to get to Joe’s blues festival in Sugar Camp in August some time. They asked if I wanted to practice the trumpet again and maybe tag a long, but with this job, it will take a long time to have any lip power for that old trumpet. Just as easy to sling big plugs for green toothy critters!!!

    Muskie Ben, oops I forgot, not lakelink!!!

    I’m blessed with a wide range, 2nd Bass to Tenor. Between singing engagements and Guiding I am starting to fill the summer Calendar pretty well.
    What club do you manage again Mark? I may take the wife for an overnight your way and sing a song or two for you. I also play trumpet a little.

    Tom:

    Thank you for your sincere words in the other post. I keep waiting for Geno and Kurt to send me the monster of all muskies. They seem to be testing my patience though. I did however have a fish porpoise next to my boat on Minocqua the other night and it might not have been a 50 inch fish, but the girth was very impressive and I might even bet that I was looking at a 30# fish though. Just did not want to look at any bait put close to it either. Oh well I know the door to knock at now.

    Tom:

    Is it time??? I have finished my season and now have some free time to kill. I have finally gotten out and fished over the last two weeks!!! Get back to me and maybe there is a time we could meet and and fish a lake that interests me over in that neck of the woods.
