well my season was cut short due to moving in late June, but I did manage to cross off 2 things on my list at once - my first tiger, and first fish from a canoe

then I got my first river fish the week I moved to Virginia... and haven't been out fishing for em since then. Maybe I'll get my first winter time fish, since the season is year round here!

well this was my first season fishing for muskies with muskie tackle. and from the start I came here for info from buying my first rod and reel. A TI XH 8' rod teamed up with a calcutta 400 reel and I most say I have not found anything I did not like about my choice. the fishing was great also but I fish mainly on a lake that has just had muskies reintroduced and so most are still small my Pb for the year on other lakes was 40" but on the lake I spent most of my time fishing it was 38" and that from what I had heard is as big as they are in that lake unless you find one of the old stock witch is rare ( if they are even there at all ).Tons of nice pike with a skinny 38" being the longest pike. I have learned so much this year I cant list it all but I still need to work on my 8s ( but they are looking a lot better ) and be more open minded about lure choice . I tend to stick with natural colors and other then red dont get to far away from a natural looking fish . I have it just dont throw it much or for long when i do. my thinking is nothing is better then a small fish haveing a bad day and floudering around looking like a good easy meal. and the closer your bait looks to that the better off you are. but in the back of my head i know that they will eat almost anything that moves through the water at times. there are also time time when big ugly and fast will beat slow floundering floping natural. so all in all its like a big chess game with big fish very time you make a good move have fun and see you on the water

my first season really musky fishing. between me and my friend we boated 13 muskies the biggest and my PB being 42.5. Had some crazy experiences. nothing like musky fishing!O and i spent a ton of money

Cought my first muskie ever. It was a 40". Than lost one on the figure 8. I was a little jacked up when that happend so I think I didn't get a good hook set on her lol! O well :)and that was it. I think it was a good year for being a first timer and teaching myself how to fish for them. This year I'm prolly going to spend less time on the walleye and more time muskie fishing. I'm hooked for life now!!

I boated 30 this year, plus 4 more that buddies caught in my boat....did not fish much at all in August because of high water temps, and not a single day in November because my truck got stolen out of my driveway Holloween night!

Bucktails and Suckers(Oct.) were my top producers.

48" was my biggest, in June at 1:00 AM, on a metro area lake.

Did most of my fishing in NE Minnesota, and NW Wisconsin.

Next year's goal....50" OR BUST!!!
