He worked with Walt Disney on a series of films, which popularized the idea of human space travel in the US and beyond between 19. He worked for the United States Army on an intermediate-range ballistic missile program, and he developed the rockets that launched the United States' first space satellite Explorer 1 in 1958. Following the war, he was secretly moved to the United States, along with about 1,600 other German scientists, engineers, and technicians, as part of Operation Paperclip. He helped design and co-developed the V-2 rocket at Peenemünde during World War II. Īs a young man, von Braun worked in Nazi Germany's rocket development program. He was a member of the Nazi Party and Allgemeine SS, as well as the leading figure in the development of rocket technology in Nazi Germany and a pioneer of rocket and space technology in the United States. Twice he happily shoveled snow from his boat on the last trip.Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun (23 March 1912 – 16 June 1977) was a German-American aerospace engineer and space architect. Gelb plans one more muskie trip this year to Vilas County, assuming he isn`t frozen out. Yet because of the demands of his job, he still is basically a weekend fisherman.'' There just is no one on the water today who knows as much as him. ''Tom is continually in the top five of the Muskies, Inc., master angler contests.
''He catches big fish by trolling, back- trolling, on open water, shallow water, casting, jigging, night fishing, drifting, using suckers-whatever it takes. ''Whereas most top anglers are specialists in one or two methods, Gelb is expert in every phase,'' Bucher said. When Bucher began fishing with Gelb a few years ago, he literally arm-twisted Gelb into becoming a field editor for Musky Hunter magazine. He has fished Wisconsin`s Vilas County for muskies since 1952, with more than 800 legals to his credit. in Milwaukee who troubleshoots far-flung plant operations. Whenever it starts to move, I go immediately to the best place I can think of.''Ī former Formula car central division racing champ, Gelb is a senior vice president at Harley-Davidson Co. Gelb confessed part of his method ''is to watch the barometer like a hawk. ''Tom found one rock wall where we took almost one fish on every trolling pass, and these were fish of 37 to 52 inches,'' Bucher said. By contrast, last year`s pattern involved rock walls. This time Gelb found his fish on boulders adjacent to deep water, sometimes boulder areas that were deceptively small.
He goes after them with a battle plan, and he usually wins his encounters.''
''To an amateur, all that water looks the same, but Tom has an uncanny knowledge of where the big fish will be lurking and what the presentations should be,'' Bucher said. And even if some did, most wouldn`t know what to do. Gelb confesses to be ''fairly secretive,'' inwardly shuddering at the idea that masses of anglers may stumble across his favorite spots in the vastness of Lake of the Woods.īucher says that`s highly unlikely. Then he goes out before dawn and stays out until after dark, which very few people do in October.'' He figures out where the muskies will be in big, big water. He factors in weather changes, barometrics, any relevant data. ''He creates an elaborate game plan based upon many factors, including moon phase. ''What he does is apply years of detailed study,'' Bucher said.
