Glad those days are long gone. Still a few guys around here that whackem but they have mostly died off.



After the great drought of the 30’s the state created the upper Mississippi flood plan. Hundreds of dams raising the level of hundreds of northern lakes that feed the Mississippi River should it need help again. Leech was made huge. All fish populations exploded including in leech with big musky. The musky rampage happened in hi summer heat and when newer “modern” fishing gear came out. People could deal with the bruisers and they did.
