Stan's Shakopee neighbor and a guide netted a dozen muskellunge monsters yesterday and Thursday at a secret location in Alexandria. Derek, above, says the catch of muskies measured a variety of lengths, most between 48 and 52 inches, and weighed between 30 and 40 pounds each. They were all carefully released. Stan, who has just finished carrying one dozen 40-pound bags of system-saver salt to his basement water softener, was impressed by the fish photos and the size of the massive catch. Derek was impressed that Stan was able to immediately guess the name of the mystery Alexandria lake, and was quickly sworn to secrecy. It would now require at least a bottle of single malt scotch to disclose the location.
Derek's guide was Jason Hammernick, well-known Mille Lacs area sportsman and nimrod.
