I know that you can catch a 40 inch, 18 1/2 pound musky in a 10 foot wide storm drain.

Are they good eatin' at that size? And I think I may have caught 18-1/2 pounds of fish in my whole life.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I'm not sure I'm eating storm drain musky.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Not really. They grow slowly. The record for this lake was a 17 year old fish (caught by a 14 year old girl), the big ones are all at least 10. Lots of mercury, not a particularly great flavor to begin with.
The blue gill and cats we use for bait taste better. Though I suppose musky do taste better than rubber ducks...which I also use for bait.
More fun stuff. The name musky is derived from an ojibwe word, mashkinooz(sp) - ugly pike.

The really weird thing is I was getting paid by the taxpayers while I was fishing.

Lee Marvin died from complications of a respiratory fungal infection, not cancer as I was led to believe at the time of his death.

He was my role model.
