Military Branch: US Army
Event Name: WI Summer Muskie
This event was another extraordinary success due to everyone involved. The organization and fluidity of the event is attributed to the event Hosts, Dawn and Todd Bohm Guide Jeff Micholic (AKA McMusky). Todd had everything ready to go as soon as the Warriors touched down at the airport. The WWIA staff, Nichole and Miss Corrina Bea were instrumental in providing the logistical support in an extremely efficient and easy manner. All Warriors caught nice Muskie and large Northern Pike. The fishing experience in the North-Midwest was exhilarating and extremely relaxing. Despite catching my first Musky (44 ½” long), what I will look back on most is sharing a lifetime moment with two Vietnam Warriors. Spending time with Pat and Zig was like fishing with your older brothers, the wisdom, experience and encouragement was inspiring while the stories and experiences left my face and stomach hurting from laughing. While the fish did their part, the Hosts, volunteers and Warriors were what I’ll remember most on this event. I can’t say thank you enough to all of those involved. With greatest respect.
