    I heard nine mile was nine miles from anywhere on the lake! North, south east and west! Don’t explain 7&8 mile though!

    My guess is JLDII, Hook, Bobber, Puddlepounder or Steve Fellegy may know…..

    Guy’s what I know is that they are just names that were picked for these Structures. Some were named after launch captains that fished them though the years! I know when Orin Tutt designed the Whiffer Map he had help from alot of “seasoned” Mille Lacs guy’s!!!!!!

    Tuck, maybe someday Hook and I will really show you where the “Honey Hole” is located………..it’s found by…..

    Thanks guys!
    That seems to be what most are thinking also. With me and my great analytical mind, I sometimes need to know stupid things!
