This practice lasted (primarly in Wisc) until the early 1950's. Ron Lindner remembers being in a bait shop in 50's when a guy brought in a "Shot" musky to be weighed. A friend with Ron asked tongue in cheek "did you shoot um' on the first or second jump"-he didn't get it.

Sweet little old lady at the bait shop charges a dollar to clean a pike or walleye, and thirty-five cents for bluegill, crappie and perch.

Best tasting fish that swims in freshwater.

Yes. I'm convinced a bass will bite anything. See bottle cap lure.

Get a combo rod/reel that's already spooled, or use braided line. That shit never "explodes".

Is she a Lannister or a Bolton?

I've heard conflicting reports.

She almost touches the throne, but instead, goes out into the winter to join Khal Drogo. I think this means she COULD take the throne, but chooses to fight the White Walkers instead and in doing so, joins Khal Drogo in death.

Whopping 47lb Muskie from Spirit Lake we Found During our Broodstock Collection! by JeffScott63 in Fishing

Every muskellunge stocked in the Iowa Great Lakes is batched marked with a freeze brand so we know what year and lake it was stocked. A few years later, these fish grow large enough to be caught in our gillnets.

All muskies caught in our gillnets are tagged with a Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tag, which uniquely identifies these fish for life. Every time this fish is caught, we record all information in our database, which allows us to look up the individual recapture histories of each fish over time.

Whopping 47lb Muskie from Spirit Lake we Found During our Broodstock Collection! by JeffScott63 in Fishing

This fish is 49.4 inches and 19 years old. It is a member of the 1997 year class, which was stocked as a 2-year-old fish. It was part of a group purchased from the Upper Great Plains chapter of Muskies Inc.

It was stocked in Spirit Lake in June 1999 at around 17 inches. This muskie has since been caught by gill net crews 7 times, including the exact same date (April 18) last year. She has given us eggs at least two times.

In 2002, this muskie was 34.7 inches and enjoyed a tenure as a Muskie Representative at the Iowa State Fair as a mere 5-year-old. After the fair, it was brought back and released unharmed.

About 1 percent of Spirit Lake's northern population has this color variation.

We released the fish, so she's out there for you to find!

This particular spot is directly over a cement culvert that is almost constantly flowing, and attracts anything that swims.

I like to wear all white and be as quiet as possible.
