How to impress your friends

FISHING WITH CUSTOM LEN THOMPSON LURES

Story and photos shared with permission by Jerry Wipft

Thought you might enjoy a little update. We went to Lake Nipissing last Friday and fished through the week end. I made a gift of the full set of 4 lures that I had received on time (BIG thanks again to your production team and in particular to yourself for them arriving on time and being stunning) to my two friends who were fishing with Dorothee and I.

I was the only one catching fish Friday and Saturday, all on my new lures. I caught pike on all but the green (because of the cloudy water I did not use the green). I caught both pike and a great pickerel/walleye on the yellow. My two friends did not use any of the lures I gave them, later admitting they thought I had made them as a joke. One friend in particular was determined to catch a Musky fishing extensively with a variety of large plugs. We made a special effort to troll the usual Musky haunts for him. 

​On the last day of fishing I caught Pike, again on my Len Thompson fishing together (white and red this day) and my friends were not having any better luck. One even took one of his gift lures apart, removing the hook, to use it as a flasher. I said, 'You will catch nothing using it like that!'. I was right, he was blanked.

​My other friend (the Musky hunter) became so discouraged he stopped fishing, taking a break to pout.

​He was shocked out of his funk when my wife caught a nice pike on her yellow fishing together lure. That she was catching fish and he, a superior fisherman had not, finally woke him to the fact that if you want to be successful then you use a Len Thompson spoon and the yellow fishing together one in particular. He replaced his huge plug, put away his huge flys and put on the yellow LT fishing together. Third cast and he was rewarded.

Here is a picture of Tom, trying to lift a 52", almost 50 pound Musky, caught on the CUSTOM, YELLOW/RED, LEN THOMPSON LURE.

Apropos,
Best regards and I hope you enjoyed this little story.

ps. He later admitted to thinking I had some cheap lures mocked up, he had never really been aware of how great the Len Thompson brand is (he is from Quebec) and he was totally floored by the fact that a fish of that size had not damaged the hook at all. 
​
pps. Musky under 48" caught in Nipissing are to be released, over that you can keep one. After a very brief discussion we released this magnificent fish for someone else to have the thrill of seeing it on the end of their line...………...if they are smart enough to use a Len Thompson lure. ​
