Legends of Old Lunker

For more than 150 years, a vicious predator has ruthlessly ruled the giant Lake of the Woods, a vast body of water that unites Minnesota, USA, with Ontario, Canada. There, he ceaselessly prowls the icy depths where, with no exceptions, every living thing is his prey; and his exploits have become legend. His name: Get-Maashkinoozhe, or the Mus-cal-longe, today known as Old Lunker, a name to strike as much terror in the hearts of First Nation Ojibwe as in the hunters who search these woods and waters for trophy game. These stories tell how Old Lunker terrorized, and whom, and when, but never why. Old Lunker: Never underestimate underwater treachery in the Lake of the Woods, a force with which all who go there must deal. Beware, for no one is safe. This tale of Old Lunker is the result of a trip to the island retreat of the author, Duane Arthur Schmidt and his wife, Dianne, when Dianne challenged her husband to write a story that suited the area after he had proclaimed that fishing was not his sport. In his other life as a dentist, Schmidt set new standards in his profession by creating a thirty-four-chair, fifty-plus-employee dental office.Schmidt, Duane Arthur is the author of 'Legends of Old Lunker', published 2007 under ISBN 9781413752502 and ISBN 1413752500.
