On the 19th of August 2010 history was made when Bob Mehsikomer became the first angler in the world to achieve the Cast-To, Catch and Release of 100 Muskies over the 50” benchmark, all on artificial and ALL released. Today that number tops 117. That is the reason many in the muskie world claim him to be the best of the best. Although if you ask him, he will tell you he is simply a committed angler chasing the most elusive apex predator in North America’s fresh waters. The time and devotion to the pursuit of the muskie, bass, walleye, northern pike, lake trout, tarpon, sailfish, roosterfish, peacock bass and many other species are what makes this man the skilled angler he is. He studies the environment, the location, forage and the predator at a level others could only dream of. The devil is in the details Bob always says. When asked by a would-be potential sponsor what made him so efficient on the water, he simply stated when you do it for a living, and living depends on eating, you learn fast and thoroughly. Every cast, every fish and every mistake are recorded in his day-to-day life on the water. Mehsikomer’s Simply Fishing Extreme series is the quintessential totally authentic, action-packed, trophy fishing series that everyone is trying to catch! Episodes feature in-your-face action with giant northern pike, monster lake trout, huge muskies, mammoth smallmouth, peacock bass or other trophy species crashing lures for awesome fish hitting action from around the globe. Simply Fishing is totally authentic from cast to hit, from hookset to landing, including the release. Simply Fishing Extreme also teaches conservation with correct fishing, fish handling, and release methods on video to ensure healthy release of adult fish for future anglers to enjoy. Simply Fishing practices “C.P.R. - Catch, Photo & Release . . . . The Future Of Fishing Depends On It”. All fish are released on camera. Simply Fishing host, Bob Mehsikomer, educates viewers on fishing techniques, and shows them how to catch fish, including the correct times and locations. Bob reveals his secrets for finding and catching big fish - everyone's dream fish. Simply Fishing gives anglers all the information to visit the same destinations. From January to April each year, Bob gives video supported seminars at sport shows, fishing club functions, fundraisers and special retail stores events. All of the educational materials Bob produces are backed up by "on the edge of your seat", action packaged in video form. Bob develops new seminars for the sport show circuit each year, which adds to the already impressive list of seminars available. Bob’s seminars are around 45 minutes with 15 minutes of Q&A to make the time slot one hour. Seminars require a facility where the lights can be brought down for full effect of the video support, and a video projection screen large enough for those in the rear of the room to view easily. Other speaking and hosting engagements are also accepted. Bob Mehsikomer is a 13-time world record release holder in the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame with releases in muskie, northern pike, and lake trout. Bob is Mr. Muskie, capturing more gigantic muskies on video than anyone thought was possible. As of 2008 Bob had 97 muskies 50-inches and better to his credit, today that number is a record breaking 100. Now that's a lot of BIG FISH Videos! Simply Fishing produces many retail videos covering many species, but we specialize in "How To" Muskie Videos, which are distributed nationally. Bob has records in lake trout, northern pike, muskie and peacock bass. In 2009 Bob was inducted into the Freshwater Fishing Hall Of Fame by his piers with legendary status. He earned this recognition through his commitment and devotion to a sport enjoyed by tens of millions of anglers. However, in his quest he was to take a leading roll in as an educator, searching for the untold truths of and dismantling the myths the mighty muskie and other species while on course. In years past Simply Fishing the program has aired to more than 70,000,000 households on cable, broadcast, satellite and streaming on the Internet annually. Simply Google Bob Mehsikomer or Simply Fishing for a quick reference of where you can see Bob’s skills in action. Beyond simply catching fish, Bob is also an environmentalist. Catch and release has been the cornerstone of his career and will be far into the future. Ben Alspach at Berkley Fishing one told Bob he should look into pursuing something other than muskie if he were to succeed. He simply asked why and the response he was met with was ”NOT EVEN AL LINDNER could succeed at catching these fish on a regular basis". Well, we would all have to agree, Ben was sadly mistaken and if you again ask Bob, he will tell you that although he has succeeded in the pursuit of the mighty muskie it would have been much more difficult without the knowledge Al Lindner provided him. The respect he has for Al and Ron Lindner is not to be taken lightly, they provided a base line for studies and in part paved the way for Bob and anglers like him
