First Muskies

[john skarie]

Went with my brother in-law his son and another one of my nephews today. They are 13 and 14.

Put them both on thier first muskies. Austin caught a 32"er and Derick a 36"er.

The looks on thier faces were priceless when thier fish hit the net!!

Congratulations to you, your brother-in-law, and those young men John. That was a moment those youngsters will never forget. They'll be telling about that trip with their Uncle John to their kids too!

Very cool John. Hearing a new muskie angler say "I got one!" is about the coolest thing there is.

Hi Jack Welcome to FM!

Cheers,

I also put my friend on his first 2 muskies of his life ever. Twin 38" 30 mins apart at same spot.

When first one hit the net he looked at me blank face.. I say yup it's Muskie and u got one. Then second one hit the net at first He look little baffled and said. " I got two....30 mins apart.....same spot!!!!!...wow!...n Holy moley!!!!" he thought it would never happen to him..

They've both been doing a little muskie fishing, but have not had any success yet.

I'd been trying to make time to get out with the all summer but just couldn't get things lined up.

We were trolling spinner baits which is something they had been trying with thier dads but never had any success with.

With a little coaching on boat speed, location and making sure the baits were weed free the day ended as well as I could have hoped.

I let them keep the Rad Dogs that they caught their fish on. It only seemed fitting.

A good friend of mine came with me Saturday for his first trip ever. One hour after sunset he caught a 39" boatside and FREAKED OUT. It was awesome. When the fish hit, my buddy couldn't get a single distinguishable word out. I figured he had a fish when he was screaming and water was splashing everywhere. I might have enjoyed the experience even more than he, and he REALLY had fun.
