So, I hit the bottom in my newly inspected tank. Saw a nice muskie out there which was neat. Half way through, I had two crowns (toc - nothing good). As I'm reaching down into the mud, I grabbed a bottle by the bottom. I feel the mug-base and I'm pretty confident about what I found. Mug based John Graf Weiss beers come out of here from time to time.

I reached towards the top of the bottle to see if the original metal bail is still attached. If so, I could carefully hold it in place so that I didn't lose it. When I felt the neck, there was no bail. However, the blob was not flat along the sides like it normally is. That's odd. So, I began to wonder if I had like an oversized hutch maybe. Graf made some of those, but they don't come up often? I pulled it over to look and . . .

Sharp looking bottle. What's the name on the front?

Thanks for jumping in Pyshodoodle, luckiest, Sandchip and Joe. Sorry for the suspense. You gotta have some fun when you find an amber hutch right? I've bought three of them but never found one or even heard of one coming out of the lake where we hunt. Sure, construction sights maybe. Privies maybe. But underwater, it was a special treat. I honestly couldn't believe it when I was holding it in my hand.
