Honeymoon

[muskieboy46]

Well a couple weeks ago my wife and I got married and you know you found the right woman when she says you should bring your muskie stuff on the honeymoon. She also had the idea of contacting my friend and guide Jim Doyle to see if he would take us out one night fishing.

Well about halfway through our honeymoon stay she says let's try muskie fishing tonight. So we hook up the boat and drive to the lake. After an hour or so she gets the first follow! And it's her biggest follow ever so she is really excited and forgets that fish can't turn their bodies into a U shape very easily

Then later that night she helps me land this 47incher on the figure 8.

Later that night I also have the pleasure of hooking into and fighting the biggest muskie of my life. Unfortunately it got off but still fun to see and feel a 40lb fish on the end of my line.

Two nights later Jim Doyle of musky connection guide service takes my wife and I out near Grand Rapids. The lake and scenery were beautiful. And to top it all off we got 2 muskies, a 40 and 41.

What a great trip!

Thank you Jim Doyle for the wonderful trip and knowledge you shared with us!

I would like to thank Aaron Heimkes of musky tackle online for the great customer service he showed me. He even allowed me to stop by his place on my way up to pick up some emergency lures that I had lost. Of which the 40 and 41 inchers from the trip were caught on.

I would also like to thank Dennis Lappen of muskie innovations for all the advice and experience he has shared with me over the years.

The members of these forums also are to be thanked. Those of you who share information so that others can learn more about this sport, safely handle muskies, catch and release, and some tips and tricks of the trade. Thank you all.

And of course, my wife. Who allows me to go fishing more than I should and spend more money than I should.

Thanks everyone,

Trevor

I can totally relate since my wife suggested that i go out fishing onthe morning of our wedding 2 years ago.

I caught this 42 1/2 inch; 19 lb fish with about 20 minutes to go.
