Christmas was 60 months or FIVE YEARS in Tommy math since prostate operation.

Today at 2PM my cancer guy Doc "G" gave me / us the ALL CLEAR!

ZERO Cancer found for FIVE YEARs.....even gave me a Diploma.

Long haul but I / we did it.

smile

Thanks to everyone on this site for making me smile in a host of ways.

Never gave up on me nor I on fighting this Cancer Demon.

smile

Hard to say how much the positive words an calls an notes an E-mails an slaps in the head or to my back mean.

Boots in the butt worked too.

To all of you young an old...THANK YOU!

If you see me say hi as always but expect to be hugged even harder, tease a bit more or thrown off the dock on the deeper end.

crazy

Nothing about me has changed really, well... some has, but I'm still me the one an only Wonderful T.

Thanks!!!

If the Dock or Cabin be a rocken, don't come a knocken!

Tommy, Great to hear! I'm fairly new to Lake Vermilion (a couple year cabin owner), but I really enjoy your posts. Always put a smile on my face or a chuckle after reading your posts. It would be fun to share a day on the water with you. From a fellow St. Paul guy...

Life is Good/GREAT!

Tommy ; Congrats to you. I am another one that has never met you but I also feel like I somehow have an idea of what kind of person you are. Life is what you make it. Well you my friend seem to have found the secret receipe & have now just put the cherry on top. Congrats & I hope to see you on the water

Not to hijack the post, but near Cleveland Ave and River Blvd.

H.P. class of 76.

Think Musky T grew up on the east side. Now it doesn't look like a hijack :/:)

He went to Mechanic Arts, downtown. I think maybe Rice Street was his neighborhood.

I'm a Midway guy.

Very good to hear! Thanks for sharing...God has been very gracious to you indeed..

Any plan to start guiding again on a full time basis?

Posted

grin

WOW!

Thanks for the great words an notes. Just did for FYI an I was or am feeling really good about it.

Wish I could hang with you all.

grin

Sure...I will guide some but not full time.

I feel it is a Younger mans game to do it right long hours.

Muskie fishen is hard work an it can SUCK!

If any you all ever want to go out, well just make the call an see what we can do for fun? I am never to hard to find.

Like Yer Woody Wood Pecker in life or Rust.

Never sleep an never go away!

smile

Like the sign over the whizzer at CBGB'z: We Aim to Pleaze ~ You AIM to Pleaze!!

Actually looking into NEW insurance for this very subject this morning here right now.

People that do call during muskie fish season get my full attention. I love to tease. Most times we can make it work an they for sure never forget it.

If I feel conditions are right an muskie fish are hot an callers meet some of my tricky guidelines to get in our rig...SURE.. we go.

Enjoy Half days best, during our Sweet Vermilions prime times.

Save everyone money an our time casting non active fishys.

We just work hard, learn some stuff an enjoy it all... Good, Dirty fun.

You can really learn a ton in four to six hours an we always have fun.

Not a clock watcher so I just call it when "ITS TIME"

Yer back an the fish tell me when that is.

smile

Each year have same 20 to 24 people book past five seasons, but might, well always add a few more or dump of few of the regulars just for fun. Well, until they offer up tasty lunch, grilled roast beef & porkers ribs or of course homemade pie! Mmmmmmmm PIE!

Yes, yes..grew up Frogtown area of St. Paul. 542 w. Minnehaha between Kent & Macubin...1960 to 1981.

Across from Great Northern Rail road shops.

Great place to grow up.

Mechanic Arts Highscool? YES.... 7th to 12th ~ 68' to Class of 74'

Go Trainers!

Lived on Maryland ave & Farrington six blocks west of Rice st. 82' to 2003 when we bought musky acres here in the woods of Chisago.

Spend summer on island with The Mallard Island Marauders an Bonnie when she can join us since fall 1996 ....so fine!

Looking for a small home in the northland on lil lake with crappie, bass, pannie an Pike fun to retire to....SOON.

Now can make a few more real plans for distant future.

Cancer Sucks, but it aint sucking on me no more.

smile

Thanks everyone. Feels good knowing you all "GET IT"

I pop in for fun an smiles, keep ya all on the bite an not to uptight!

Life like fishen is sposed to be fun, so just go DO IT!

Reminds me of a girl I knew on the road in mid 70s... had a Tat that read "If it Feels Good ~ Do It!"

Great thought for sure, but she waz always tired, walked funny an died young.

DOH!

smile

GO LEAFS!

Keep on rocken.

Saw your post Tom. Awesome to hear the great news. Congrats from Nellie and myself. Keep on keeping it real. See you on the water.

Glad to hear, T. This site wouldn't be the same without you. I've learned a whole new dialect smile

December was year 34 for me, cancer-free. You've got some catching up to do!

Congrat's on the diploma. A tough fight and glad to see you beat cancer's ugly head.

My older brother is going through h$ll right now fighting cancer. He has had a transplant and now trying to get back home. Been 7 months for him at the U and maybe in 2 week's, when his PT is all done so he can walk again, he will get to go home cancer free they say. Just have to get his one lung to stop bleeding and he will be good to go, hopefully for years to come.

Posted

Thanks again to you all.

Means a big bunch to me and my LiL crew of Wehler's.

I clown around a lot but can be very serious when need be but then again the very best way to deal with stuff that aims to take you out or mess with friends or Kin is to face it head on, drop the gloves an get it on.

Plus any type of humor really really is a great way to ease pain, clear the mind an it simply makes things better. At least for a little while. And that can not be a bad thing.

Chucker ...Right On! More power to ya my man. That is amazing!! You have the power my friend!

smile

Harvey Lee, we Wehler's send good thinks yer way for your brother and family, but it sounds like he is moving closer to a "Go Home" an do something fun an "LIVE" day.

A wonderful day it will be.

That is what we all hope comes soon for him an you.

And will he succeed, yes sir indeed, 99 and 7/8% guaranteed!

grin

No way around it CANCER SUCKS!

Sometimes I view photos like this one below, hold it in my lil brain and focus on thinking of really mean nasty things to do to "IT" !

Helps deal with "IT". The Beast within.

Turn nasty in to good, unleash my whole crew from the Hood.

Stay the course, never give in an ride that rotten ^%$# right out into a deep dark hole leading to no where.

Works for me The one and only Wonderful T, to ease me mind.

Kind of like the feeling you get releasing the good GAS a few ice cold rootbeers an big old bag of BBQ Porkrind produces. Ahhhh, that feels so good!

crazy

Cancer Sucks!

I hear Musky Tom segment on Backroads with Ron & Raven airs again late Thursday 13th an some again into Friday 14th on Fox Sports channel. Might be worth a laugh to tune in. Not sure what footage is used nor theam it is about as I have no control over that but some who sent me notes enjoyed it an had a few laughs. Past shows I have done with Mr. Schara an crew were darn good.

Keep on Rocken!

Congrats on 5 years Tom!

Nice to almost meet you. Actually, just noticed the writing on your truck as I was going around you when you went into the gas station on the north side of Cloquet. I wanted to turn around and introduce myself, but felt weird doing that. Got some chow in Cloquet and noticed you again going down the road. It was just me and the pooch on this trip-kind of nice once in a while smile

I didn't see your Bonnie and other pooch in the back seat-thought we were both doing the solo trip with our best buds riding shotgun! I saw you rockin on the steering wheel-must have been some good tunes! Congrats on your anniversary! Hope to really get to meet you one of these days!

      It is  pretty shiny piece of equipment. I was able to purchase it on my scab job wages 😆 I don't think I'll update the electronics any time soon, 3 screens is enough?
    • smurfy
      🤣 not near as shiny and spendy as that livescope toy. Thats kinda like bling ain't it? besides i'm on a paultry union pension  🫣
    • Kettle
      I mean to catch pike you just need a shiny object...

      Just another "Words matter"   Voting on school levy. This was posted on the School "education district" building door.  We had a nice cold walk all the way around the building! The arrow was added, after we educated them! 😒
    • Wanderer
      Nope!  But it’s more funner!
    • smurfy
      I don't need no livescope to catch fish....🤔🤪  It's all in how ya wiggle the worm!😜 Just sayin  🤣
    • Kettle
      Obviously this is more of a hot topic due to forward facing sonar. With that being said, I know people who have pulled crappies out of basins 40+ deep since the fl-8 and zercom flashers came out. That's over 30 years ago. I do think there's a push to ban these in MN and I could see them doing it here. They'll have to pay my livescope from my cold dead hands 😆 on days I can't catch a walleye jigging or rigging it's nice to turn it on and throw corks at individual fish
    • Kettle
      It wasn't just you, I was fishing west of you about an hour on Monday. Fished 8am-4pm, no fish, two keeper walleye and one small one from 4pm-630pm. Marked a lot of fish, they would come up to a jig and swim away. They were skittish to the dead stick too
    • leech~~
      I wonder like divers, if we let them decompress every 10' for 1/2hr. If that would help?  🤔  It would slow the bite down a bit!  🤭
