well today we spent a good 12 hours in the boat fishing for musky
and hoestly if i didnt get one today i was about to give up....
thank god today was the day 8)

but fist lets start off with the story we started off and after a couple of casts i get backlash and the line gets stuck in the trolling motor so we head back over to mickeys take the prop off and get rid of all the line

45 minutes we were back on the water trowing bucktails, topwaters, jerkbaits you name it without a sniff

so we try a bunch of spots and about 10 hours into the trip im talking aabout how i have never had a hit on one of theses "secret lures" and just as i say that boom my rod bends RIGHT over
and the fight is on

what i brought in was this BEAST..... by my standards :lol:

he was 40 inches long and was REALLY thick
im still shakeing that was my biggest ever fish to date and gave one of the best fights ever

he wasnt out of the water for more that 45 seconds and swam away strong

im really happy about how everything went
and by the way
my new favorate fish are musky 8)

Congratulations Chevy!!
Well deserved - and fantastic fish - huge well proportioned musky!!
That's a memory you'll never forget.

The release of all those other fish was the karma ingredients that made this catch happen :D
