(Rob delivered the keynote address at the 2005 Muskie Symposium, encouraging us to think beyond the status quo. Great speech.)

Who???

Seriously.

Seriously.

OK, I'll give you "seriously". Rob Kimm is an excellent speaker. I've talked with him a few times, fished with him once, and only once have I seen him speak. His presentation was well thought out and well organized. He's very articulate and sharp as a whip. One of the things that really impressed me about his talk and specifically his speaking style was that he presented himself as confident, but not the lest bit cocky. Lots of "been there, done that" fisherman, of which Rob is certainly one, can come across (often accurately) as very arrogant. Rob knows what he's talking about and he aware of that fact, but he's not full of himself and he's a treat to listen to someone who really knows his stuff but hasn't let it go to his head.

For those who can go to his talk, do yourself a favor and make it a point to go- he does a great job and I have no doubt you'll learn something from his talk, no matter how experienced or inexperienced of a muskie fisherman you are.

I've known Rob for a good many years now. Extremely intelligent, the man knows what he talks about and is very well traveled in the fishing world. Still to this day is the only other man I've met who has fished the Kiyu Flats in Alaska. Not afraid to speak his mind, nor too timid to raise his voice when called for (big Jerry and his bump boards!). But still fair and as friendly of guy as you're likely to meet. In my house, we're proud to call Rob Kimm our friend.

Twin Cities Chapter of Muskies Inc thanks Rob for a great seminar. Just the facts.

(now I don't feel so bad about the 2011 Manitou opener. Teck and I each had our own boat, so we could roam the lake at will, yet we saw few fish in a drizzly four day rain with a strong east wind. Then, like a switch went on, there were fish in the usual haunts, and I could catch them with Jackpots, Teck with Phantoms. Early Canadian fishing is so weather dependent.)
