each catch the same way along with the lake or river upon which the Musky was caught…Impressive! As we began to talk about Tony’s exploits and accomplishments, Tony directed my attention to the results of the Villas County Muskie Marathon. Tony was quite proud, and rightfully so, of the success of himself and his clients in this marathon. Tony or his guide clients were ranked in the top ten catches in a substantial number of years from 1971 to 2010.
