do you put this together yourself because I can't find this through my muskies inc.

Yes, I pulled the excel file and sorted the data. You can get the same info you just need to sort and then put the data into another file. I'm sure someone well versed in excel could write a formula to pull the data for each name but it only takes about ten minutes for me build this.

With regard to the Muskies Inc. Men's Master's category (see above): Does anybody know where generally Will Hardy (or for that matter, Will Hardy and Joe Hardy) do their fishing?

Thanks.

They fish a couple lakes in MN but 90% of their fishing and 99.9% of their fish come from a place in Ontario called Fluke Lake. Is it worth the trip? I guess that depends on what you want to catch. I would personally find it hard to pass up Mille Lacs, Vermillion, Leech, LOTW, Eagle just to fish Fluke Lake that doesn't have fish bigger than 40" – that's just me though.

Anyway… here's some info from the trip Mike and Michelle made there. Their intent was to win the Men's and Women's division in the Muskies, Inc. contest. <url url="[Permission to view this media is denied]

Will, just so I have this right, it's 32" and above?

Steve

Muskies, Inc. is 30" and above.

Joe Hardy caught 370 fish at Fluke Lake in 2007. I have to scratch my head and ask myself why?? There are 20 lakes all around this lake that have bigger fish. Old Joe must just love poppin 33 to 37 inchers all day. If you were looking to win a division Title as we did in 2006 a two week trip to Fluke Lake could net you over 100 muskies in the 30 to 40 inch range. I think a guy like Will could catch 150 to 200 muskies there in 14 days. Like Will said if numbers is your goal there is not a better producing numbers lake in the world. The hard part is driving past Mille Lacs,Vermillion, Rainy, Wabigoon, Pipestone, Eagle and about 100 other great Musky lakes to get to it. Joe Hardy must be trying to get to the 5000 mark in his lifetime. I think he is about half way there. Kingfisher

We fished it for three reasons really. One was to see if the Hardys were telling the truth about this lake and its numbers. The other was to get the numbers we needed to break 200 fish. We couldnt afford all that trolling on St. Clair. We spent 2500.00 on st. clair for 60 fish and 1200.00 on the trip to fluke for 104. We also caught a lot of our Fluke Lake fish on Little Claws. This helped to boost sales of that lure in Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota. I have no desire to return there. We will never go back because like you say there are much better lakes to fish up that way.

Our trip this year is to Lake of the Woods (two days with Johnson) and Lac Suel 6 days with Marino and Rice. We are going to stick a real piggy this year.

I guess I also wonder why someone would catch 300 fish in one year from that lake unless they have seen a real big fish there. We never saw one over 40 inches but there have been some turned in years ago that broke the 50 inch mark.

In defence of Fluke lake Ill say this, its a beautifull lake with great structure and no competition so to speak of. No high speed bass boats and big engines. No houses and lots of peace and quiet. People who fish it have to bust thier butts to launch and retrieve their boats. I think we will get the same pristine setting on Lac Suel and LOW this year with a true shot at some monsters.

Muskies Inc is full of a wide range of different people who fish for different reasons. I dont understand some of them and I am sure there are some who think what we do is a little off. Shelly and I have tried as many of the lakes and waters as we can get ourboats on. I think this has been our greatest accomplishment as Musky anglers. To go where we have not been before and to succeed as others have and where others have not. Fluke Lake was nice place to visit but I wouldnt want to live there. Mike and Michelle
