goblueM Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Caught this fatty off my coworkers dock with 10 pound test... what a fight. Was on my 2nd cast and hit right away. Almost peeled off all the line on my reel before I turned her around. Unfortunately since we were just dock fishing there was no musky gear around and before I said anything my coworker netted it with his walleye net and got the hooks all tangled up. Luckily I had some pliers and wire cutters in the work truck still and another coworker had gotten them out, being a musky fishermen. So I was able to get the hooks out in a couple seconds, snap a pic then put her back in the water for measurement. Swam away strong What a thick fish, the pics dont do her justice. 46 x 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRedig Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 IDK, i think those pictures do it justice, looks like a FATTY! Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrax Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 3 muskies boated Thurs night and one lost boatside before the netman could get it. 50in, 48in, 43in. Couple more hot follows. 2 muskies boated Fri night, 49in and 42.75in. Also more hot follows but got rained/stormed off at 11:00pm. Bite is just fine on Lake Vermilion. Jeremy and some resort guests he's taken out have like 9 or 10 fish up to 52.5in in the last 5 days. Last 6 fish caught on one identical custom bait, funny when 3 guys are throwing the exact same thing but its whats working. Pics included. Shout out to Jeremy and the nice folks at Whispering Winds Resort. If you are a muskie hunter looking for a great experience look them up online. You can't miss. Jarods 50in. Jeremy 48in. Jeremy 43in. Jeremy 42.75in Jeremy 49in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzeback Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 looks like Jeremy is a fish hog. I'd tell him to keep his line in the boat if he was guiding me, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrax Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 No, not a fish hog. But very skilled. Guest was just out with us for fun and not any kind of paid trip, Jeremy is my brother, I just came up for quick fishing and 20 year school reunion. He caught 2 of them last night being the "middle man" with me up front and another guy in the back. Probably more luck than anything as we all had identical baits on. Most generous guy you'd ever meet though. Serious. And clients always come first when he's doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephendawg Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Tell Jeremy I'm sorry I missed him the last week of July. I stopped by and said, "Hi" to your dad one day but Jer was in town running errands. I hooked a nice one and lost her in a few seconds. Caught a 27 later in the morning so it wasn't a total skunk. Nothing like last year's 50 though! Your folks new cabin is awesome BTW! Hope you guys have continued success the rest of 09! Beautiful fish and pictures. Keep up the good work!Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copterjohn Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hope to see this one again in the fall... only 23 inch girth but a PB for me in length. I have never had the adrenaline shake after a muskie before, but I did on this one.

Tim_Anderson Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Got August off to a good start Sunday night. First fish boated was this 50 x 22. Hooked it WAY out on the end of the cast, and thought for sure I was snagged. Then all of the sudden it started to move! Wish I could have had that head up more for the picture but it was dang heavy! 20 minutes later it happened again. End of cast. Bait gets stopped in it's tracks. I set the hook hard and think I'm snagged for sure this time, and then come these long/slow headshakes. This one was just slightly smaller at 49x21. Second picture turned out better.

JimBuck Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Got one today around 6:30. Didn't have a chance to measure her. Still getting this video camera figured out so the pic is a bit out of frame. Things should be picking up here the next few days. [img:left] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
