Three Rivers Lodge - Radisson

Do we have a fish tale for you... An old legend tells of a great Wisconsin Muskie who lived in the deep water of the mighty Mississippi River. He was bigger, stronger and could swim much faster than any other fish in the river. The fisherman was old and had a beard that had grown to his knees. The boastful fish swam up to the small boat and addressed the old man. "I am the greatest Muskie these waters have ever seen. I can swim faster and leap higher from the waters than any of my fellow fish. For this, I should be made immortal so that I can rule these deep waters forever." The fisherman was amazed. He had never seen such a fish-one with such strength, yet one with such arrogance. The fisherman pondered the situation and then said to the fish. "I am an old man, but I am wise and have the power to grant your wish for immortality. Leap from the river and into my boat and I will make it so." And so the fish did.
