This column endeavors at all
times to quote nothing but the
truth in telling of fish caught and
lost. Occasionally some fellow gets
'panned' for what he should have
done but failed. But here is
some" story which we have taken
from the Minocqua Times of a
week ago concerning the alleged
capture of a giant muskellunge
over in the Minocqua waters. 1t
is given for what it is worth, and
woe unto the guy who doubts it's
veracity or who really believes it:
A giant muskellunge weighing
rs pounds was picked up dead in
Tomahawk lake last week by jim
Mcqueen, hunter, trader and trap
per.
The fish was SO inches in length
and 257a in girth. 1t measured six
inches between the eyes with a
spread of 1914 inches between the
jaws. From tip to tip the tail
measured Is inches. Small novelty
fans will be made from the scales
of the giant musky, and the fans
will be put on sale at local stores
as souvenirs of the Island City.
Two Musk-orenos, seven No. 9
and five No. s spoon hooks, Is pike
hooks and a three pound pike were
found in the fish. Six of the
spoonhooks had Burt Hills initials
on them.
Local "Musky" experts claim
that the fish is a close decendent
of "Old Nose" and a near relative
to Gus Nolans tame "Musky the
one that fell off the railroad
bridge years ago and drowned. 1t
will be remembered that "Old
Nose" who was caught in a net
in Minocqua lake some twenty
years ago weighed 108 pounds

Fred Schaefer of Chicago, here
on an outing at the home of his
brother, put it over one of the
Wisconsin river birds last week
while he and Pee Jay" were cast
ing that stream below the dam in

fish landed weighed in at Il
pounds and was the initial musky
