Default Muskie 51 pounder in Wis.

Sure, it was caught by a gentleman by the name of Tom Gelb. He's a
dedicated muskie hunter who puts in a ton of time on the water.
Wisconsin's muskie season ends on November 31st and that's the day this
pig was caught. He was row-trolling in really cruddy weather when the
beast hit.

If I remember correctly, it's the largest muskie caught in Vilas County in
over 20 years. I commend Tom for his catch, I can't think of a nicer guy
to have that fish.


Thanks Steve. Yet another example of a lucky catch made by a dedicated
fisherman who out-works and out-toughs guys like me who sit at home in cold,
nasty weather. A great catch and a nice story.
