The replica of the 54" we got last year just came in. I poured a Crown Royal to celebrate the great fish, good times, and to finish this chapter of my Musky fishing career! There will be many more chapters yet to write!!! I am more excited than ever, and have Musky Fever worse than ever!!! Thanks once again to all who helped me, taught me, fished with me, and "picked me up" along the way; y'all played a bigger part than you realize! August 28, 2008 would NOT have happened without each and every one of you! Thanks also to the great people of Canada for allowing us access to their waters.

Our 25th Anniversary was made extra special with the drop-off of goodies and the card. Devlin Lake was all you said it would be and more. We spent 10 glorious days and caught over 500 fish. The look on Rick's face when he landed the first big Northern Pike was the best part for me. It was the 3rd day and Rick had 38 inches of heart-pounding Northern fight on 8 lb test and a light rod. The 30 inch and 32 inch Northerns were icing on the cake during the rest of the trip. Not to mention the 80 plus walleye that graced our boat, some of which also graced our dinner table!
