A mutant fish has come to challenge Godzilla!  Look how it bares it’s ugly teeth as it soars over the building!

This is Hayward. Home of a Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame and the Moccasin Bar and Wilderness Museum- where you can see, if your heart desires, the world world record musky- 67 1/2-pounds and 60 1/4 in. long!  Holy bananas!

This town and I didn’t have too much in common.  I did delight in the moose head suspended from the ceiling in the pizzeria where we had dinner. But I opted to skip the giant musky so after a bit of shopping (including a trip to a humongous candy store that would make any eight year-old drool) me and the parental units went to the charming HookStone Winery-  so much more my speed. We tasted several of their wines- most just ran with the fish theme:

Bluegill Blanc

Rock Bass

Walleye Blush

Muskie

Panfish Port

Sunfish- the tasty Syrah (with 5% Voignier) I’m drinking now.  Blackberry Bouquet with blackberry, pepper and chocolate.  Mmmmmmmm…
