Muskie Photo Gallery

interesting to look at the different markings on those fish. Same body of water? I'm assuming not...i'm no expert on determining strain from a photo or anything though so who knows.

also nice job on showing your girlfriend a muskie up close and personal, I've only ever had success with my sister in the boat, never with a significant other.

Bronzeback, good eyes on the different strain, different bodies of water, it was cool to have the gf with, i think i screamed louder than she did as it hit on the 8. Urban cowboy "dude", ;yes, yes i did blur out my bait, its pretty apparent in the photo! HAHAAHA, and willy, i'll hit you up! Good luck everyone, hopefully the weather can straighten out and get that darn water warmed up!

I didn't catch a Muskie last year (so i am really itching to spend a lot of time on the water this year), but I thought that I'd add this pic from 2 years ago.

42 1/2 inches & 19 lbs. I caught it on Cass Lake on the morning of my wedding.

Here is a 21 lb pike that I caught in northern Saskatchewan last June. Sorry, don't remember the length.

If I look overly excited, it is because i lost one the same size & one even larger earlier in the week.

Hope i get to post a more current pic here soon!

My boat finally got its first totally confirmed 50 so I thought I'd share it. My buddy got her just as a storm was ready to roll in. I was out with two guys who have been friends since kindergarten so it was extra cool to share this one. By the looks of the head this one could get real big.

BTW we were on Rush.

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
