Awsome day.....

[Dynasty]

Well for me atleast.

The day started off bad. The drag on the setup I use for muskies took a dump. I was pretty mad, I really felt like muskie fishing. Its not to often I can talk my dad into a musky outing. I had no choice but to throw a leader on one of my bassin rods and throw spinners.

Well it didnt turn out that bad after all. About 10 mins after getting tied up I hook a real fat 36" musky. An hour later I had a musky about 30" get off at the boat. Then at the end off the day while heading back to the launch my dad asked if I wanted to stop and make some casts where I got my first musky. I was a little skeptic that I would get anything but decided to try it.

I made a cast and during the retrieve I was looking around and saw what looked like a northen or musky with its head out of the water. I had heard this mentioned on this site before so I watched a little closer and saw it was musky. I reel up quick and cast to where I saw it. When my lure was about 10ft from the boat it shot out of nowhere and took my spinner. It was another fat mid 30" musky.

Today turned out to be a blast, those muskies put up a good fight on 10lb test.

Also, how much would a really fat 35"-36" musky be?

WOW, 2 of them eh? What lake, if you don't mind me asking. I'm in pursuit of a Muskie right now, I've actually caught one already, but it was like 13" so that doesn't count

Congrats on the nice catches!

Yesterday must have been the day. I caught a 40" and a 38" in less than an hour, and had another get off.

Hey Dynasty, I have also seen muskies have their heads out of the water. A few summers ago, the muskies were doing that like crazy on a lake a fish a lot. The first time I saw it, it was from a distance and I thought it was a duck or something. I got closer and saw it was a muskie. Boy was my blood boiling. I probly saw about 10 muskies doing that but I haven't seen one for the last 2 summers maybe. Hopefully i'll see one again soon cuz that sure is exciting.

Yeah esoxmn, I thought the conditions were looking good for muskies with the overcast sky and a little chop on the water.

Sorry Griggs, I was fishing a small metro lake that I dont think gets much musky fishing pressure.

Last week the bite was HOT! I caught a 42.5 on Thursday and know of 6 other fish over 40 being caught before this most recent cold front. Hopefully more steady warm weather will be here soon!!!
