I just read this on the Pa fish commission website. This guy claimed to catch two 55 lb muskies in 9 days with minnows. I think I am selling all my lures and fishing with minnows from now on!! What a joke. This is probably one of those guys that catch the 1lb crappies and 15 lb walleyes daily at Pymy.
