Ralph Loos: Rare catch of 50-inch muskie in Illinois reminds us that they’re out there
For a few years now, I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to borrow a calculation involving muskies shared by retired Illinois DNR fisheries biologist Frank Jakubicek.
Duane Landmeier, an avid angler from Hinckley, just gave me one. But first, the calculation: “If a muskie is stocked when your child is entering kindergarten, they will graduate high school before that fish reaches 50 inches in length and becomes an angler’s trophy-of-a-lifetime,” Jakubicek wrote in 2022.

Dan Wesson Firearms was founded in 1968 by Daniel B. Wesson II, but the story of the Wesson family and their place in history as American gun makers goes back almost 200 years.
