first Muskie!

Post by **tinbanger** » Sun Jun 20, 2004 9:00 pm

We were up at the cottage on Simcoe Saturday , haven't seen the lake so rough in quite a while
Decided to take my sons over to Canal lake for an hour of Pike fishing .
First spot we tried , on his second cast my youngest ends up with the first Muskie any of us has seen up close and personal!
Beautiful fish , about 28" . What made it even more fun was he caught it on a black skirted buzzbait ...what a hit !
He got it alongside the boat like a pro and we were able to unhook and release .
I'm startin to think we are gonna need a bigger boat !

Hey Skein

Thats about the size of the muskies we have up here in the ottawa vally....Captain Steve is planing on comming down this fall for a shot at them.....maybe we should'ent tell him how big they realy are

Great job on the SKI...I caught my first one last fall and will never forget it!! I am sure you or your young lad won't either.

Hey Skein, that's fantastic. How old is your young lad? If you've got a picture, we'd love to see it in the Muskie gallery.

High fives to your son from team Fishhawk.

Tinbanger, just think if you hadn't tried a different lake that day....

My son is always interested in what other kids are catching (he's 6-1/2); he would love to see a pic of your son with his 1st muskie. So would I!

Unfortunatly the camera didn't make it onto the boat that day (@#%$##@) but he sure won't forget it.

Picked up disposable camera and will keep it stored on board in case the digital is left behind.
