MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Two brothers living on Lake Minnetonka have a big fish story to tell.

James and Johnny Range Jr. are part of a fishing league on the lake, and they reeled in a huge muskie Tuesday night.

The brothers often fish off their dock. They typically reel in sunfish, but the anglers also go after a bigger catch during competition.

I just got back from a muskie (musky) fishing trip in canada. I caught a 43 incher. It is hard work. On the ottoawa river the average is 16 hours of casting to catch one fish. We met the average with 3. MUskies over 3 days with two fisherman and also a guide who knew what he was doing. Got burnt to a crisp (bring good hat even if it is canada lol)

You do know that you can go to a grocery store and buy good quality fish?!
Or better yet steak!

"I caught a bad disease."

Given your well-known proclivities to chase anything that walks, runs, or crawls, we are not surprised.

Buying fish is much cheaper than catching it. Goes for walleye here in ohio

I’m surprised that the Bond movies aren’t being boycotted.

After all, in the novel, Dr. No, the mixed race minions of the villain are referred to as Chigroes, a Chinese and negro blend.

Say whut!

Uh, I don't know how to express this, but one would have to have and extremely small piece of machinery to accomplish that.

Some where in the sub-micron length, n'est-ce pas?

As I understand it they typically get onto the legs then crawl up or down until they hit resistance. So the bite are frequently in the crotch or just under the sock line. I have not figured out how I got them unless they were on the boat or I got them a couple days before and it take 2 days to react. At first I though I had bed bugs, but after some internet research I know they are chiggers
