Yeeeehah! Jill and I have a trip booked with Phil on August 9, after we get through working the National Trappers Association convention in Marshfield the previous weekend. We’re going after walleyes and other smaller stuff, and I told Phil on the phone last week that I wasn’t too hepped up about catching a “fish of a thousand casts.” But if it was a fish like that one, I might change my mind.
You are lucky folks. I’d like to fish with Phil, or is that phish with Fil?
THAT IS FANTASTIC!!! Yes women do catch muskies! When I was still working as home care nurse, one my elderly clients had a gianormous muskie hanging in her breakfast nook – every visit it seemed she told me the story of her little 5 foot 100 pound self hauling the 48 inch monster in – when we would walk to her yard for her prescribed outdoor exercise time she always patted the fish when we walked by, and with twinkle would say “and they thought I couldn’t catch you hahahaha” !
