Grampa's Musky
My Grampa, Fred Smith, caught a nice musky from a Trout Lake near Minocqua in 1974. Grampa is 94 now and he's still kicking the crap out of fish wherever he chooses to wet a line (he still makes at least one or two trips to Canada each year just to put the fear into them and let 'em know he's got their number). This musky now hangs in the Stumpjack here in Two Rivers.

Get the Stumpjack Scat, a weekly newsletter of what's going on at the Stump: music, events, specials, contests to win cool stuff, newsletter-only deals, and a few embarrassing pictures.
