Michael Winther

Michael “lambeau” Winther has been chasing muskies for 10 years, and is
the first to admit that he still hasn’t figured them out.  As a
psychotherapist in his “real life”, he’s hoping someday to be able to
ask one of these fish to “tell me about your mother…”

He spends his free time on the water: bouncing between his local lakes
in the Madison, WI area; weekends “up north” in Vilas and Oneida
counties; and all the vacation time he can scrape together to visit
family near the unmatched waters of northern Minnesota.  The odd trip to
chase tigers in Utah is always a possibility.


Michael is a team member at www.MuskieFirst.com, the busiest
single-species website in the world, where he strives to keep the
discussions relevant, informative, and polite.

He’s also on the Muskie Pro Staff for Tuffy Boats, and you’ve got an open
invitation to join him in his 1760 Esox Deep-V.

Mike Koepp

Mike "The Extreme One" Koepp is one of the most hard core muskie anglers you will ever meet. He works a full time job (7am till 3pm) and guides after work almost every weekday and weekends. He first started musky fishing over thirty five years ago and today he fishes with a passion that grows with each new season.  

Mike has a RANGER 620VS FISHERMAN fully loaded. He uses his 35 years experience and top of the line equipment every day he is on the water. His home water is Pewaukee Lake but can guide any of the SouthEastern waters. Captain Mike also guides the Great Lakes and plenty of northern waters in Wisconsin.  

 Mike can share some of the advanced techniques and patterns that he has picked up throughout many years of tournament fishing. PMTT, WMT, IMTT and just to name a few of the tournament trails he likes.  Mike also guides all winter long through the ice for pike and walleyes. 

Mike is a strong advocate of catch + photo + 100% release of muskies. Being a proud member of the Milwaukee Chapter of Muskies Inc since the late 90's, Mike thrives to teach everyone the proper handling, photos and release of fish. Being a teacher is how he is passing on his passion to others.  

 Mike is one of the first MuskieFirst Pro Staff members, online chat contributor, a seminar speaker, outdoor writer and consistent contributor to local papers and magazines. Mike is on numerous Pro Staffs but rates this one way up on the list. He is willing to answer any questions about MoJo Tackle anytime. He can be reached at his web site, home phone or cell phone.

Norm Wild

Norm Wild guides in Oneida and Vilas counties of Wisconsin, and brings over fifteen years of musky experience on these waters.  Whether you are a seasoned veteran or a first time musky hunter, your day in the boat with Norm is sure to be a learning experience.

Norm has traveled north to Canadian Shield Lakes, south to the hills of Kentucky, and many places in between in pursuit of the king of the freshwater.

Norm spends a large portion of his time fishing the waters of Pelican Lake and the Three Lakes Chain. Between these two bodies of water alone there is over ten thousand acres of musky habitat. Both of these waters offer a great mix of action and a shot at some quality sized fish.  Norm is a huge proponent of Catch and Release and insists on 100% CPR in his boat.  The release of today is the trophy of tomorrow.
