Musky Chase. Lake of the Woods Musky Fishing.

Witness first-hand the glory days of sport fishing’s past as you travel to some of the world’s most fabled fishing destinations. Come along with fishing industry legends and Rapala Founders, Ray Ostrom & Ron Weber plus Bill Cullerton - Rapala’s first rep group namesake with a supporting cast of others from Ray Scott, founder of B.A.S.S., Mark Sosin, legendary saltwater angler and fishing celebrity and the local guides that put them on some of the best fishing in the western hemisphere.
Filmed in the 1960s into the 1970s, witness a bygone era with trips from Alaska to the Amazon to the Baja and Costa Rica featuring fishing gear, tackle and boats from the fledgling days of some of today’s most famous brands that will make any collector swoon.
Created by Ray Ostrom, these films, from the Normark Film Library and the Estate of Norma and Raymond Ostrom, were used to share the excitement of fishing with fisherman across the country. Loaned to fishing clubs, American Legions and, on special occasions, shown as feature films at local Minneapolis Movie Theatres. Ray, an avid photographer and film maker as well as fisherman, was the driving force behind the concept and creation of this series.

To me it’s so wild how much different we used to be about keeping fish, like muskies, no one keeps them. But here it was normal

I remember bumping into a couple of conservation scientists conducting electro fish survey on a musky and pike lake in southern Ontario. That's where they stun fish using an electromagnetic field and they float to the surface to be counted. One of them said if the cottage goers knew how big the fish were, they would never go swimming. And yes, he was referring to muskie. They guy piloting the boat added there are only 2 safe ways for a guy to go skinny dipping on a musky lake, the back stroke and the one handed dog paddle.

And still, today, the story remains the same: chasing the elusive tiger. Great film story.
