‘Big fish’ stories available at Musky Hunter
If you want to see big fish while visiting the North Woods, the Musky Hunter Store in St. Germain contains an amazing collection of giant muskies. The store is wallpapered with trophy fish, including replica mounts of worldrecord muskies. These replicas include the worldrecord hybrid muskie, caught by John Knobla on Lac Vieux Desert in northern Vilas County in 1919. It measured 54 inches long and weighed 51 pounds, 3 ounces. A replica of the world-record purebred muskie, which was claimed to weigh 69 pounds, 15 ounces and measured 63.5 inches, is on display. The Musky Hunter Store focuses on muskie fishermen and features an extensive line of T-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets and hats for men, women and children. Muskie fishing DVDs and books, muskie art prints and novelty items are featured, as well as tools to help you release your next muskie. “We have several new Tshirt and wind-shirt designs that are extremely popular with customers, and a huge hit is the Season 7 DVD of ‘The Musky Hunter TV Show,’ ” said store manager Steve Heiting. The store does not carry tackle or live bait. Visitors to The Musky Hunter Store can subscribe to Musky Hunter Maga-
