I like to run G.Loomis rods. 2 MUR933's for throwing smaller bucktails, a MUR914 for working jerks and gliders, a 955 swimbait rod for smaller jointed baits and a 956 for bigger swimbaits. I have 2 MUR964's coming for throwing bigger jointed baits, larger bucktails and for trolling rods and 1 MUR965 for 5 oz bulldogs. Mike.

I'm afraid if I came up there I'd be too tempted to sidetrack him with Hayward questions. In all honesty I've been kinda Muskied-out since last July. Fishing a month in the worst "spring" conditions in over a decade last June really did a number on me. I've been cheating on Muskies with Sturgeon, Catfish and Walleye. I did just take a trip to Lake Kinkaid, but that didn't go so well, either. Caught it at the same time as the big Tony Grant/Gregg Thomas Musky Road Rally, four boats in every cove put the fish down in a big way. Caught one on the first day and then only a few follows in the days after. Decided to go to Red Wing, MN to fish pre-spawn Walleye, but that was a disaster, too. The night before we started fishing they decided to start spilling water over the dam, which lowered the temp dramatically and put the fish down. They went from catching 80 a day to nothing. Add to that the fact it's the only water in Minnesota without ice on it and it's the only body of water there where the Walleye season is open year-round, meant a few hundred boats in a mile stretch of river. It looked like Lake Havasu spring break, only with ugly old guys. I bring bad luck/timing wherever I go. That said, very excited to go to Lake of the Woods in July. I'm sure my presence will screw something up, however.

I could really use that net, though...I keep my Big Kahuna in Minnesota.

Tiger Muskies are sterile.
You can't keep them under 50 inches:
