Why an Ohio Huskie Muskie Club, Inc.?

With the increased catch of muskellunge from Ohio waters, interest among fishermen grew and the Ohio Division of Wildlife needed to obtain information on the muskellunge catch and harvest. So in 1961, Merrille C. Gilfillan formed the Ohio Huskie Muskie Club, Inc. to officially record all the muskies caught each year. The club has proven to be an excellent vehicle for obtaining information that is valuable in evaluating fish management activities and planning for the future.
