Lake St. Clair Awesome musky day

I don't post a lot of fishing reports but here's one from Ontarios South coast I though I'd share with you guys. Eastern Ont Cottage trip report is still in progress!
Went out on LSC with Slowpoke and my wife's uncle from Holland (not Michigan but the country) on Sunday morning. After loading the gear in the boat and driving to the Hwy I realized I left my phone in my pickup @ home, or so I thought.... After a quick search of my truck turned up empty, we called my phone to listen for the ring and found it...... on the bow of Slowpokes boat. Glad he's such a smooth driver!
We ran through a bit of fog on the way from London to the launch, loaded up the boat and headed for the lake
Got some good tips from Mr.Eh who had already boated one by the time we got out to the lake and set up. The first time a rod went we passed it to Theo, who does a lot of sea fishing back home in Holland, Ireland, and Norway, and is used to a bit bigger of a boat, Slowpoke lost his clip-on sunglasses on the landing in some of the confusion. A 48"er was netted and released after a few quick photos
Next up was my turn on the rod
My PB musky was 40"
Finally the captain gets a turn
Nice one just shy of 40" (It's a musky not a guitar!
)
Next up we lost one that snapped the 30lb powerpro mainline, would have liked to seen that one!
I ended the day with a 37"er
4 for 5 is a great day musky fishing. Just about everything we put out got us fish 12" jakes, woodies, bucktails etc. We ran everything with no weight since we saw lots of fish up on the surface chasing food around.
Special thanks to Slowpoke for making the day happen
and to Mr.Eh who helped us out on location and baits
