My first muskie
Posted: Thu Oct 05, 2006 9:28 am
Hey guys, I wanted to post this report on Tuesday night but was waiting to figure out how to attatch a pic, cant get it to work and dont want to wait any longer.
So Tuesday morning I headed out with my buddy Hos( the best net man in the world for me
) I say that because he was with me when I caught a 7 lb walleye last year. Anyway we stopped at LeBarons to pick up a couple of things, the hortons and we were off.
I decided to head to(............) because this is where(............ ) took me last week to give me a few pointers, and its also a really nice place with really good looking spots.
We launched and immediately headed to a weed bed we had fished the previous week. We were there about 20 mins and I was casting topwater using of all things a zara spook (silver and blue) and something came up and took a swipe at it. I said to Hos "Did you see that?" He did. so I continued my retrieve and wham!! This time I was waiting for him and set the hook. At first I thought It was a pike but as I got it closer to the boat I could see that green tint and said " Its a muskie get the net!"
It wasnt a long fight but a good one and we boated her. Finally got my first muskie. I didnt want to have her out of the water to long so we got her off the hooks(she bit Hos ) Got a couple of pics and released her. Im not sure how big she was I mean you muskie fisherman would probably consider her to be a baby but she was my biggest fish of the year and my first ski so I was and still am extatic. The only prob is I cant post any of the pics for some reason. Piker posted it on the other post Cant post my pics, and the pic is in the gallery, so maybe someone can attatch it here.
Anyway I am hooked so I am going to be departing with alot more cash I guess because I need muskie equiptment now. Also if you see the pic maybe you experienced guys can tell me what you think its size was I know it was over 30 for sure.
Here's the pic:
