I have a quick thought on placing your catch in a livewell. Be sure you have circulated the water recently. Otherwise, you are placing a fish in water which could be considerably warmer than the lake water. I believe in leaving the fish in the net u…

I have a few comments to add to this thread. Just because the fish swims away doesn't mean it was a successful release. I am willing to bet 50% of the mortality rate comes from fish swimming away and dying within a couple of days. In the high temps…

Joe Laubinger

About:

I started musky fishing in 1987. Although I started musky fishing in 87, I did not catch my first until 1995. I was only taking a trip per year to Minocqua and I was a multi species fisherman. I mostly fish the Fox Chain in Illinois and that is where I caught my first...a 32"er on a small Grandma. I fish muskies almost exclusively now.

Favorite Fishing Memory:

I had a motorguide autoguide trolling motor and I was fishing Deer Lake in NW Wisconsin. I was in 12' of open water and my trolling motor hit something. I looked down into the water and saw nothing. I said to my brother "what the hell did I hit?" He then pointed out a low 40" musky which was swimming away. I lifted the trolling motor and sure as shit it had teeth marks on it. The damn fish attacked my motor. I realized that day how fearless these fish really are!

Favorite Waters:

Lake Vermilion is my favorite place to fish. I have been there on and off since 1993 I believe. It is where I have caught my personal best 50.5" fish. It is also just a place I am lucky enough to spend a week a year with my buddies. I also enjoy the Hayward area lakes...The Chip especially. My home water the Fox Chain has been very good to me also!

Favorite Style of Fishing:

Bucktails and topwater with a hot summer bite.

Double 10's and prop baits.

I have fished several local Fox Chain tournaments. I have taken 2nd and 5th in the SOB Jake Wolf spring tourney's. Ryan Stochl and I placed 3rd in the 2001 FRV Challunge on the Chain spring tourney. I also fished the PMTT in 2001 with Ryan.
