Special thanks to Gregg Thomas, Lee Tauchen and Luke Ronnestrand for taking time from their busy schedules to do this with me.

 

From seven caught muskies on seven consecutive casts . . . to wondering if you will ever catch another Mille Lacs muskie again!

These guides tell their stories including highlights from some of their best days on the water when the lake was at its best along with what it is was like to be there when the bite died and they were forced to leave the lake they had committed their lives to. We also touch on the economic impact on the area and how other fisheries were effected.
