Tilt Muskie madness mesmerizes ami dollars and twenty five cents I exclaimed incredulously Yes sir uh thats right the young lady behind the counter said a little nervous at my reaction It s a good price too They cost more at the other manna further down the lake Well I guess you can tell that it been quite a while since I ve bought cigarettes These are for a friend don t smoke myself I continued but I remember paying three dollars and change for a car ton of when I used to buy them for Dad That s a long time ago the lady said smiling and not trying to conceal her habit as she took a long puff on her own cigarette Yeah long time thank God he stopped eh Too expensive and bad for your health Hey you should stop too you know I remarked Again the lady just smiled Will that be all then she asked Well how are the muskie this year I inquired I only see two on the Big Fish Scoreboard here Thats right the lady answered The bass are biting like crazy though Yes and there s some pickerel entered Very nice one there an eight pounder Very few muskie however I thought to myself so it looked as if my work was certainly cut out for me After all it is said that even the most ardent muskie angler must devote one hundred hours in the water between legal or keeper sizelfish Anything three feet is considered a baby and should be released Een larger fish are set free by the true lunge fanatic who realizes how frail is the existence of mighty golden warrior Ah yes the muskel lunge the fish of one hundred hours the fish of ten thousand ha e to be a 1 it tie crazy I thanked the lad she wished me good luck and I gazed upon the beautiful and rugged shoreline of Lake with its pine maple oak and birch providing an apron like effect for the white cliffs of nephelme syenite in the

hour to troll across the lake Maybe longer if I have any luck along the heh heh hen Since my troll to the manna had been unproductive I decided to switch lures and reached for a trusty old floating Magnum silver and black nicknamed Pontiac Remember those old commer You got it Pontaic Yep this old lure had caught me almost all of my Lake muskies over the years and it deserved the title like I say you have to be a little crazy I placed the cigarettes Du Mauner Special Mild or something like that on the bench beside me The lure Pontiac was smothered with a little Berkeley s Attractant and the hunt was on About twenty yards from the last manna dock and in twenty feet of dark water ad to a rocky shoal claimed another prize After several minutes of give and take battling and some exciting surface thrashing and splashing a beautifully coloured legal was landed and unhooked Before being set free it received the man datory lecture on how not to be fooled again by anybody until it grew up to be a pounder or so and then Pontiac and would a again Crazy ou bet continued my troll along a shallow channel then past a promising and finally found myself in front of the rocky ledge across from the cottage the water here was about ten feet deep but dropped off quickly to at least fifty or sixty feet I could see my family on the shore a couple of hundred yards iway and Sulla Lennon and Rita were near the beach along vih Amy and Matthew Murdy and Donna Morrison Wouldn it be nice I thought to catch a lunge just about now so that my family and some friends would see exactly how exciting that it can be Nah I thought That would be Dressing my luck a bit Another hundred hours coming up I guess now where did those cigarettes go Amy s probably got the shakes and as I headed boat into the deep channel water in order to cross my lure just ticked on that underwater unseen rock ledge thedinnerbell eh Pontiat I spotted the cigarettes on the floor of the boat and reached down to get them At
