Wisconsin Life | Muskie Legend

For Jim Olson, there's nothing more peaceful than rowing around Crab Lake in his 14-foot boat, trailing three fishing lines in the water behind him. Jim is a Muskie fisherman, and that requires a lot of patience.

" I have alot of stories...most of them true" lol, I hope this gentleman is still rowing

[@oledahammer8393]

Jim is a great guy and dedicated to Muskies. I have known him through the national Musky club, Muskies Inc, for 25 years. Darn good boat builder too! Keep trolling Jim!!!

What a great story. God Bless You Jim.

[@kayak_chris]

I love stories like this... passing the joy of fishing from one generation to the next. I hope that I can still enjoy fishing when I'm Jim's age!

[@jorylyons6172]

Jim learned from Bob Ellis, who learned from me one day when he was visiting his High School friends, my Dad and my Uncle. GOD Bless him

That is a beautiful boat

[@prospectoroutdoors]

Thanks for sharing Jim’s story. Reminded me of my first catch.

Oar trolling!!!!! Jim Olson,Tom Gelb, Doug Johnson, Joe Bucher - these guys I always admire even though we don't have Muskie/Musky in the UK, their techniques still catch big pike. Legends that need celebrating!

Awsome.. hope i can still do that when i get his age!! Bless you bud!! Keep it up

[@thebloodyshambles]

That's a lot of work, when I was young lad as a gamekeeper and ghillie we had to row clinker built larchwood boats out in high winds with guests in the boat, it's brutal work. And then as soon as you get to your spot the both cast and tangle together lol.

[@jamesireland6606]

People don't know how a great rowboat works nowadays

[@2inHeartattack]
