Before I Forget... Fifty Years of Muskie Fishing

vii, 208 pp. Len Hartman never wanted to be president of General Motors, and you never found Betty in a parade carrying a banner for women's lib. The two of them just wanted to be the greatest muskie-fishing pair of their time. And they were! For half a century they explored the St. Lawrence River, Georgian Bay, The Manitou, Kentucky's famous Dale Hollow, Minnesota's explosive Leech Lake, the muskie-rich waters of Wisconsin… and countless other places in between. Together, they caught almost four thousand muskies (over four tons!), and released over 98% of them. Today, they still list seven of the top twenty-two muskies of all time. In this book, Len tells where, when, why and how they did it… and how they view the future of their favorite sport: muskie fishing.
