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.

yep thats a pepsi in my hands ! :o :P :D

we start shallow 6 - 10 FOW

at this point we are using two MiG spinner baits ...

one is orange the other is yellow perch patern....

2 houres FLY BY nothing ....

but with the nice CHOP on the water and fishing RIGHT IN THE PROP WASH!

i Was verry confident! :D

my cousin (bass-hunter) makes a Wise decision.... he switches lures

he puts a BIG FAMOUS BELEIEVER yellow with black stripes! :roll:

IT PAYS OFF BIG TIME! :mrgreen:

Still in 8-9 FOW over a small weed bed!

THIRD HOURE....the reel SCREEMS! :shock:

he picks up the rod.... its big.... BIGG... SPLASH it makes a spectacular jump....IM LIKE!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

I grab the OVER sized net that bass-addict lent us.( THANK GOD) and (THANK YOU) :D

IN THE NET SHE GOES! :D

Never in my life have i ever seen something as BEAUTIFULL as a MONSTER MUSKY!!!

The musky was hooked in the upper right part of the outer lip!

when i netted the fish i had a lil trouble unhooking it due to the fish BITTING the net! :shock:

BUT i left it in the water! while unhooking!!!

not a drop of blood but our was poured....

less that 2 minutes and she was back in the ottawa!

id like to thank you guys for all the great INFO you gave me...

IE: BIG NET ... QUICK RELESE....QUICK PICK...QUICK trolling technique!

and the one info from TROUTANDMUSKYHUNTER!

RIGHT IN THE PROP WASH! :lol: :lol:

IF it wasent for all the great knowledge of this site that musky might have not made it back to STRIKE another lure! :D

Yep, VERY nice fish. Clean, healthy and fat!! Bigger thyan some bigger fish we have seen :wink:

Congrats Guys.

Like Muskie 4 live said though, watch out with those rod holders. If you are gonna go after the lungers a little more invest in a salty.
