50" - WOW!

Jim Roerig of Embarrass, Minnesota holds a beautiful 50"
musky that was caught July 05, 2001 on a Wisher Jr.

Jim states:
"Best little surface lure I've ever used.  Nice and light so
you can throw it all day.  And the big girls just love to eat
them!"

Congratulations Jim!
45" Beauty!

Guide Larry Ramsell holds a beautiful monster caught and released by Lou Heidenreich.  This 48" fish (estimated 35 pounds) was caught on September 7th, using a Wisher Weedless Bucktail
with black hair and nickel blade.  Lou's friend (and cameraman) Paul Baranek says, "In all honesty, the pictures do not do justice to how thick this fish was."  Paul also caught two smaller muskies during their outing.

Leonard Seiler of Girard, Illinois, proudly displays his first Minnesota- legal muskie, a nicely spotted 40" fish caught on a Wisher topwater wood bait in September.
Leonard Seiler is holding a 36" fish he caught on a calm and sunny September day, using a Wisher topwater bait.  
Here Leonard Seiler shows a nicely spotted 35" muskie.  This fish was caught on aWisher topwater wood bait in September.
Leonard Seiler holds a scrappy Minnesota 33" muskie, caught on a Wisher Weedless Bucktail.

Three of the four fish shown here were caught and released on the SAME day in September.  Who would believe Leonard has only been fishing for muskies one year!  Could that big smile mean that he is giving up panfishing ?
Don Szymski holds a really big-mouthed 39" fish caught on
a Wisher Weedless Bucktail during a Minnesota tournament.  Maybe she will reach 40" by next year's tournament......
Here Don Szymski releases the 39" fish caught during the tournament. You can bet he's got that spot marked to try again next year!
The tournament was over, but the fish kept biting!  Don Szymski is holding another Wisher topwater bait victim just before release.
