World-Famous or Legendary Muskie “Hotspots” – Part VI
by Larry Ramsell, Muskellunge Historian
In Part V, we learned of the first Legendary “Hotspot” in the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage. My dear friend, the late Bill Tutt was an interesting Muskie Master there, as will be noted in the following story of Big George, a fish that created yet another Legendary “Hotspot” on the Flambeau side of the Flowage. I personally knew Bill to be a top notch muskie hunter, sportsman and mentor, who had tagged and released many large muskies and kept a few in the earlier days. In addition, Bill was a great storyteller, as the excerpts quoted here from this amazing and long tale will prove. The relatively small sand bar that Big George frequented is an interesting spot, as will be noted.
