[MuskyBug85]

Well 2nd fish in three trips, Girlfriends bother was in town from Montana so we took him to Waconia. His first muskie 51 1/2 x 25. Caught it in 20 feet of water on a shallow invader. makes me think I shouldn't have quite guiding, oh well lots of fun when your with good friends.

Jonah, if that fish had a hole on the left side of its mouth, it was mine! Cursed, I tell ya...

Here's my entry for smallest so far.........cute little guy. The way I look at it is this is a good sign for the stocking success and good things to come.

[BoxMN]

He is a cute one Chris He will be fierce a few years down the road!

[MuskyBug85]

hey PDX it did have hole on the left side toward the back half of the upper jaw. its teeth were coming through the hole and now i have gashes on four of five of the fingers on my left hand from handling the fish. hahaha

[Matt Breuer]

That is a beautiful little 'ski! I love how they look when they're little!

Jonah, I sprained my finger something fierce on that 51" from a week or so ago. My finger is still bruised, and is tender as all [PoorWordUsage]. Worth every painful moment...

Does this help with perspective?

Nope not at all.

Too bad I didn't hold this out, it could've been a 50!

Shoot, maybe this one could've gone 55!

Hey Jeff, lighten up. If a guy wants us to think his fish is bigger than it actually was, he'd just lie about the size, and how would we know? Anybody can tell those were good fish. I'm all for making the fish the centerpiece of the photo. I don't like looking at the fisherman as much as the fish, and you certainly don't want to be looking at me (I've got the perfect face for radio). I don't care how big a fish I catch, I'm never going to be able to make it look big next to me, no matter how I hold it, so there goes your perspective. All I'm saying is it was pretty obvious those were a couple of good fish, so I for one congratulate him.

Esoxcop, I was wondering if that fish had been snagged this year, it looks like hook marks in its back.

Good Luck

I have never discounted the fact that those were some nice piggies, rest assured it is all light-hearted joking around, hence the smilies in my post above. Of course I compliment the catches as well. I have no interest in viewing the fisherman either, IMO it just looks really silly to hold the fish that way. It's what kids do to make their fish look bigger. Seems quite a few agree.

Have a great day,

And obviously a few disagree as well. Didn't know if it was all lighthearted or not with the continued shots. We're cool. You've had some success also recently - good job. Tough conditions yesterday I thought, makes it even more impressive.

Fun fights from both of them and they were both back in some shallow cabbage bays

JRedig-You should go to school for Law Enforcement, maybe you could get hired with an agency as the photo police.

[Andrew Erickson]

that thing is a monster!

[muskie55]

........ I'll take this over any muskie....here's perspective for ya. Holy cow! Holy bull sunfish!

I would have to disagree....I would take any muskie over a sunfish anyday!!

[JRedig]

[Tippman]

What are the stats on that bluegill??

[WallyGator12000]

46" 7/5/08

A very busy metro lake that quieted down enough to fish once the sun was gone...

[BoxMN]

Here are my brother HugoBox's skis from over the Fourth of July weekend.

First is 40-41" from FL. Had a couple good follows and one on but not landed the previous day, then finally landed this one the next. Many 28-31" pike mixed in too. Good action. DCG chartruese.

Second was on WBL at about 3 am Sat night. DCG chartruese again. This one was 48" and his PB so far.

Both good releases:

[Rebel9921]

Awesome Muskies, Erik... Wish I was out there with you guys!!! Would've been a blast Im sure!!!

[HugoBox]

Larry -

Thanks for the congrats - I'm still smiling a bit. I guess this one just showed up a week late!! Would have been fun it we would have hit one while we were out. I've never trolled a DCG at night before this, I may have to do more of it.

Take care - erik
