Never have caught a muskie

Never have caught a muskie

Never have caught a muskie. 
Really never fished them. 
Lack the patience/obsession 
that Ed calls Ahabian.

Once when fishing Lake Lucerne near Minocqua

in a boat with Bosz, 

one completely broke water trying to get the bluegill 

that Bosz was reeling in. 

In that flash, 

it looked 5 feet long!

Later, we nervously laughed 

about whether it would be safe to swim in the water. 

Would it attack again for our beer

while we would be floating through his water 

on our rubber rafts?

I know it would be
a hoot to catch one. - Steve Mich, 2020
