Can't believe I did that! Funny stories and forgetting stuff.

Pull a bone head move? Me? NEVER!!!

And evertime I am out I catch AT LEAST 10-20 muskies all over 40"!!!

All Kidding aside, I have been told I should write a book on my bone head moves!!!

First launch this year I left the backstaps on, oh well, no damage except to my self esteem. my friend just emailed me about his trip last weekend, sorry I don't have a good one of my own but this one had to get put in here.

"So, Sunday night we play cards ‘till about 1am and I say I’m walking down to the point to throw my x-rap by the channel for some walleye. Jason agrees to go with. I lose a decent fish on the first cast and a little while later my x-rap gets hammered. I’m thinking Pike all the way; the fight took about 15 minutes and I had to horse it through some rocks up to shore. Once it comes in close we see it’s too short to be a pike and Jason shouts “walleye!” Right about then, my line snaps ‘cause it’s half way out of the water and it starts to swim away………so I dropped my rod and did a “swan dive” after it, go for the bear hug in about 2 FOW, barrel roll and launch it up on shore!! …my trophy walleye turns out to be a 10 lb carp!! So Jason and I laughed for about an hour. Here I am at 2am on Monday morning completely soaked; boots, cell phone, wallet, and all. What the he!! was that carp doing hitting a 5 ½ inch x-rap, I’ve never heard of that, and it was dark. Jason said he was thinking, “what the (edit)” no way he’ll get it and then this huge fish came flying out of the water about 10 ft up on shore."

First stupid move of the year! (and season isn't even open yet).

Step inside my head for this one:

I can't find my hand held GPS, the new one I bought last fall? I looked in house, I looked in the truck, I looked in the boat, I went through my tackle boxes, flipped the garage upside down. Where did I have it last, oh ya I was transfering waypoints from this winter into my boat units. Hmmmm I should go back in the garage and look some more, first I'm going to pick up the trash somebody left on the road infront of my garage. Thats not trash, thats smashed peices of my GPS! (Fifteen minutes of swear words) Dang must have left it on the boat when I pulled away to go try for some panfish.

Stupid move #1 for 2006.

[Gus]

Jon,

At least you know it's smashed to bits and that nobody has your secret spots now! If I only would have driven by your place... humm...

[Random guy]

That was my biggest concern last year when I got burglarized. All those waypoints in that hand held. I just hope the crack heads couldn't figure it out.

[cjac]

Jon,

You really need to kiss the blarney stone or carry a 4 leaf clover and turn your luck around! Blown engines, smashed GPS, burglaries.......yikes!! I'm a little nervous about fishing with you, or even on the same lake as you!!

Hopefully the muskie gods will smile upon you!

My first boner for the year happened tonight on Tonka, I forgot to pull the drift sock in after backtrolling by Crane Is. I couldn't figure out why the Yammie bogged down for a few seconds?

[Random guy]

cjac, Don't forget the back surgery, that was a blast! Its been a rough year. I'm officaily scared to get out of bed anymore.

TBone1, that had to be one heck of a load, says something for the Yami.

[TBone1]

Jon, Initially it was a load but once we chewed thru the driftsock everything was fine.

[Random guy]

Ah bummer, it got shredded?

[TBone1]

Ya -it's trashed.

so last year was my first year fishing musky without a partner, as i picked up a boat, allowing me to get out more, solo. and also know i had never boated one.

so i'm up and out of the house by 330am to get out nice and early. ran into this 'chick' i had met a couple weeks prior. well her and her buddy (both hot enough...) happened to be at the local gas station, as i pulled up to gas up the boat. they were just headed back to their place from a party, and REALLY wanted me to come back to their place, as aparently they weren't done partying yet. hmmm...

hmmm...

hmmm...

i passed, for who knows what reason. while driving to the lake, i realized "maybe the musky gods will reward me for passing that up, and getting out on the water instead!"

well... got to the first bay, still dark, getting out the 'creeper.' after securing it to my leader, i reached in back to assemble my net. you guessed it... not net. never boated one, dark still, not gonna barehand my first one... i just tucked tail, and moped my way back to the landing. back home to bed to dream of missed opportunities...

i hope the musky gods got a good chuckle over that one...

[Hoffer]

Perch-

Sheesh - first off I dont think I would have missed out on an opportunity like that for even a nice Muskie....but if I did - not having a net isnt a real biggie. I usually try to free hand the Muskie anyway - unless you have a nice cradle net - I think even the big Muskie nets can sometimes damage a Muskie. If you can get the Muskie up to the boat and either get a good hold under the gill plate or even better just give the treble a nice shake backwards with the pliers....anyway - I do hope the Muskie gods smile on you - or next time tell you friend you will be back around noon...

Last week, I was talking about fishing with a friend of mine, you all probably know him as "Ole Matty"... I'll have him post the story here... but it all involved hooking a muskie, line breaking, him diving into the water after the muskie, and his dog following him in the water... I think I'll better leave it up to him to tell this story...

[Dkoy]

Ok, this might not be funny but I couldn't hold my chuckle when it happened. This year on opener I went out with the wifes old man. We called it quits around 2am and headed to dock, he wanted me work the tiller while he grabbed the truck. I pulled up along the dark launch with minimal lighting and shut off the motor for us to glide in, old man standing on the deck miscalculated the distanace to the deck and leaped into water. I guess it was partially my fault for leaving the motor turned right as we slid in, left old man in waste deep water. Tried to hold my cool but it was tough.

Alright, i've got one for you...

So my cousin Derek and I are fishing at the river in town by my cabin. We were having a blast catching more bullheads than i've eveer seen. So he decides he's gonna cast his line out, and not watch it. Next thing ya know... SPLASH!!! I start laughing my (Contact Us Please) of while he's all upset because he just lost his brand new ugly stick.

The next day he brings his other rod to the river. Once again we start slammin' the bullheads. Next thing I know, Derek's yippin' and hollerin', "I got something big, come over here and help me!". So i'm watching him struggle to real in this monsterous fish, and at the same time try to see what the heck he's hooked into. And go figure... he hooks into a bullhead, the bullhead wraps around his rod from yesterday that's sitting on the bottom of the river (we couldn't see it and we didn't know it was there), and now he's realin' er in. But the best part was that the fish that had yanked his rod into the water yesterday, was still hooked to the rod! So I look at him and say, "Well, 2 fish and 2 rods... not a bad start, eh?"

HAHA!!!
