This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Well... I make a good net-man! 48.5 inch Musky

Post by cprince »

I got skunked. :cry:

Left the Masson launch at about 5am and headed right for the Rockland area. I was using my Buzzers, Spinners and some cranks.

NADA!!

My buddy was using MY top waters... and hooked into this at 6:55am after a 6 lb pike.

Image

Measured it at 48 and a half inches. We did not have an appropriate measuring tape to get the girth...

Image

That is one happy Portuguese SOB! He got him near a point in a shallow weed bed that was no deeper than 3 feet.

Image

Successful release of a thing of beauty... kicked HARD for a third time after a nice 5 minute tail pumping to get 'er going back to producing some young'ins!

Image

Made for a great day!
