Mylie's Place July 2003 Fish Page


There has been some nice fish caught in July already.  Here are some of the photos.  Thanks to those you sent me pictures of their released fish.  Click the picture to see a larger version.

July 3 was a pretty good day in Rich Lehman's boat. Rich brought in  25.5 and 26 inch walleyes.  Rich's son, Max, caught his first northern;  a nice 27 incher.

                                25.5" Walleye                         27" Northern                                    26" Walleye

July 4th wasn't a bad day either.  Rich's nephew, Ben Murphy (age 14,) caught his first muskie.  This beauty measured 42 inches and then Rich pulled in a nice 40 incher a couple hours later.  Good job, guys, but leave some for the rest of us, eh?

It's a pretty good trip when you come up camping for 3 nights and both you and your fishing partner get a muskie in the mid forty inch range.  Good work guys and thanks for sending the pictures.

The week of July 19-26 was a good one for trophy walleye fishing.  These two beauties were brought in July 16th and July 25th.

It's been a good start to our unofficial muskie week.  We have 8 units filled with muskie hunters from NE, WI, MN and IL.  Memebers of the SOB and First Wisconsin chapters of Muskies, Inc will be fishing all week for those elusive 50 inchers.  They have already got a couple nice 40+  inch muskies and a 40 inch northern.  Stay tuned.  Frank caught both his muskies within a mile and an hour of each other.  All 3 fish were caught July 27, 2003.

Also on July 27, Len Rubesch (First Wis Muskies Inc.) had what he called "the day of a lifetime."  Len boated 5 muskies by himself on Sunday.  The fish ranged from 37" to 47" so he didn't sacrice quality for quantity either.  His magic lure was simple a muskie jig with a big rubber type twister tail that also has a trailer hook on a chain of beads.  Much to my suprise, Len wasn't doing any cart wheels around the resort after his amazing day because, as he said, "Five fish can be a good summer for me sometimes, I may not catch another fish all summer now."  Spoken like a true muskie fisherman.  The last photo in the set is Len's boat partner, Paul Michels (also First Wis Chapter.)  Paul finally got tired of netting all Len's fish and pulled in a nice 41" himself on July 30.  It's a good thing Len didn't knock it off with the net I think, after all the good work Paul did on the net earlier in the week.  Good job guys.  Two more days left to break 50" too.

Len's fish from July 27, in ascending order (not necessarily the order he caughty them in, but with as much skill he displayed, I wouldn't be too suprised if he started out smaller and finished with the big one.  HAHAHAHA)  As always, click the photo to see a larger version of the picture.
