Took a longtime friend out to a metro honeyhole today and we had six muskies up to the boat ranging in size from 36' to 45' (I'm guesiing). None of those toothy critters wanted the muskie candy we were tossing ie... Bucktails, Phantoms and many other surface or just below the surface type of lures. Time was getting short, kinda like the bite and it was time to turn up the speed and start cranking for these fish... we made one pass in about 18 - 20 ft of water and whammo! Clay got his first ever Muskie!! I couldn't have been happier seeing him land the fish, pick up the fish for a few quick pics and revive and release the muskie in short time. I just we had more time to run cranks because it caused a reaction bite, unlike what we were seeing in the shallows. This was a 36' fish.

Bill Rosner, a Vermilion guide out of the Vermilion Dam area, caught this 53-incher last weekend. I don't know where, except it was on the West Bay, so don't ask. I don't know what he caught it on, so don't ask. smirk.gif

He hooked the fish, offered the rod to each of his two clients, then fought and landed it himself when they said no thanks. He estimated the weight at 42 to 45 pounds.

After what seems like thousands of casts and hundreds follows, I finally scored my first muskie ever. It measured 44.5". The date stamp is wrong on the picture...it should read 6-17-06. I caught it on a chartruese Rad Dog Spinnerbait. 6-17-06muskie.jpg

Looks like photo bucket is causing us a little grief again, try imageshack.


FYI, if people are having problems uploading pics, try using Tinypic.com . I use it for all my pics. Plus anything that is over 250K in file size is automatically resized. That way you won't have to deal with GIANT pics being viewed.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • 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.
