Another nice sunset. Another nice musky. Long and skinny. 45/20.

Lost a better one after dark. Smacked the Super Cowgirl and made a run and shook off. Still hard to be dissapointed on such a perfect night. Enjoy.

Nice fish guys!

John, great looking photos man. Looks like someone had a blast!

45"

And the first past that magical 50" barrier, she went 51". Got that look of utter amazement on the face again.

You are having a pretty good year, congrats!!!

Good looking fish too, carrying a nice girth to them for sure!

Nice fish!

You know the old joke, the true honest muskie angler is one that will actually say "just shy of 50" and not stretch the truth a 1/2 inch!

Congrats!

[bronzeback]

haha yeah.

I've actually caught two that measured out at 49 and a half. That fish up there and this one.

it was caught last year(figured it was still relevant) on a trip with Tim Anderson who guides out of the Brainerd area.

I'm waiting til I'm absolutely sure a fish is 50 before i go around saying it. I'm still young, it'd be a shame to peak this early.

heck I'd love to catch a 30 at this point in the year... its tough without a boat when you're starting with muskies. Nice fish!

[bronzeback]

I know what you mean. I saw a few 30's yesterday and i tried my darndest to get them to bite. It helped though that there was a 45+ fish hanging in the same area.

I like the wet sock over the stern light...hmmm. Great fish photos. Can't wait until these fish start putting on some weight this fall.

[bassNspear]

nice fish bronze.

[The J-Man!]

Tippman that is a true beast! Your face says it all! Congratulations on the catch and thanks for sharing the pics with us.

[Tippman]

Ha, ya I tried to look normal and happy, but the amazement got the best of me!

Hi Everybody

This is Gary from Musky Heaven. One of my lodge customers just sent me this photo of a giant 40-pound Muskie and I thought you would like to see it. It's too bad the whole fish did not make it in the picture. It was 56.5 inches.

Hey Jerkin'm, I have never seen a picture of someone catching a Muskie ice fishing. That is very cool.

it was my 21st birthday yesterday and instead of going out and getting drunk, a friend of mine and I went out and did a little fishing. We fished through a light rain and didn't get a single follow all day. Saw one nice fish cruising the shallows but he was uninterested in anything.

But just a little before 8 I did end up hooking into one and boating him. I even ended up catching it on a lure that my friend had given me for my birthday so that made it even better.

birthday muskie. Not a huge fish, but definitely a pretty one.

Nice fish everyone! I took a friend of mine out last friday, and He nailed this 48" just after dark. It was his first.

bronzeback,

Nice story, very nice fish, and quite refreshing to see you have your priorities well in line! Well done and a belated Happy Birthday to you......

[TBone1]

haha nice picture on that. looks like he's staring into the fish's face almost.

Thanks BB. It is a unique picture in a way, by no means intentional. Kind of a fleeting shot.

i feel like i'm going to be hogging this page but this is the only bragging board i really have, and I take pictures of every fish if I have the opportunity so here's another one.

but i like to tell the story first

I had gone to gander today earlier and picked up a few baits from the clearance bin and this fish came in verrrry hot on a new Super Stalker but didn't bite on the 8. So i switched baits about 5 times and stayed on the spot for about a half an hour until i switched to this squirrely topwater/jerk bait. I'd seen it produce interest as a follow-up bait before so i was feeling good about it. After about 10 casts with this bait, working it really slowly, small jerk after small jerk, this fish just annihilated it. I fought the fish for a little while and I was out alone so i was reaching for the net after i got it under control, and the net ended up brushing my bucket and picking up about 3 lures in the process. long story short i ended up just gill-landing the fish and laying it on my lap to get the hooks out. As all this was going on a guy i've seen and talked to on the river a few times rolled up and offered to take the pictures for me.

My son came up to me and said, I wanna see the fishes. so I showed him the muskies, His expression was so priceless! "WHOA! BIG! MANY!" Heh.

Again, congrats on these muskies!!!!
