Hi, I'm Justin Johnson. I have had a passion for fishing since the day I can remember and however not until probably about 10 years ago I really started getting into the Musky fishing world, on Sunday mornings you can find me at Smokey's Muskie Shop on Pewaukee Lake which has taught me many things about musky fishing and met a lot of skilled anglers that have helped me since no one gets good by themselves but I have many friends, guides and partners that have helped me get to the point where I am today. I have fished numerous tournaments and classics including the PMTT, pro Mac, the three Charley's and sucker fest. With both years of fishing the PMTT was lucky enough to get to the championship however just enjoyed washing baits since we did not get a fish during but still humbling to get there. I enjoy live bait and casting for my preferred method to catch these toothy Critters, however still trying to learn the whole trolling game. Highlights: 1st place musky classic 2016 2nd place musky classic 2017 1st place sucker fest 2017 5th place PMTT Eagle River 2016 1st place pro Mac three lakes chain 2013

Joey White
My name is Joey White, I’m 28 years old, and I was born and raised in the hills of Eastern Kentucky. I grew up fishing on Cave Run Lake in Morehead, KY. Here is where my love and passion for Musky fishing became more than a hobby but a way of life. Over the years I have had the opportunity to fish all over the Musky Nation from Ontario, Canada down to the waters of Tennessee. I have also had the privilege of sharing my boat with some of the most experienced anglers there is. Along with that and thousands of hours on the water and chasing Musky year round, I have acquired a good understanding of these fish and their stubborn ways. I also get the privilege to compete in the PMTT (Professional Musky Tournament Trail) each year, and in 2015 my partner and I were able to win first leg at Cave Run Lake which turned out to be one of the best highlights of my fishing career. I also enjoy getting involved in Muskies Inc. and other clubs to assist in promoting the sport, meeting new people, and continuing to educate myself on becoming a better angler. During my wintery off season in Southern Musky waters I take pleasure in getting out into smaller rivers and streams to chase Musky and try out new baits and techniques. I also work a full time job that allows me to guide part time here on Cave Run Lake for Tony Grant’s “Tony Grant Outdoors” and Greg Thomas’s “Battle the Beast Service”. I gain most of my thrill from teaching and educating others about this great sport. This has been an enjoyable part of my life and I plan to pass my knowledge on to others and continue educating myself in hopes that they can learn to appreciate and enjoy it as much as I have.

Marissa Liske
Marissa Liske is a young fisherman from Rosemount, MN. She's been fishing with her Dad since she was 3-years old and grew a passion for fishing musky at an early age. She caught her first musky when she was 6 and has been hooked ever since. From studying lake maps, new musky lures, watching all the latest fishing videos, and getting on the water with her Dad and younger brother she continues to be a sponge for new information, all of which she loves to share with anyone who will listen. Marissa also shares an equal passion for anything related to dragons. She grew up watching the dragon training movies, reading dragonology books, drawing, and even designing costumes. Some of her friends even call her the "Dragon Girl". When she learned of TnA Tackle and their dragon line of lures it was a match made in heaven. She can't wait to chase her favorite freshwater predator with her Angry Dragons.
