That's it... I'm hooked! Update: GOT one!!

Been out fishing for the big guys four times now. This morning on a smaller Wisc. lake, despite surface temps of 76 deg., a good buddy of mine was able to put this beginner in front of some fish! I missed a couple but they were right there -- one on a topwater even. My "guide" CPR'ed a fat (FAT) 39" tiger. First big girl I'd seen!

Only problem is, I don't have a boat so I'm at the mercy of my muskie hunting boat-equipped buddies. But man oh man! I can't wait to get back on the water.

I find it hard to get enthused about jigging for 13" walleyes anymore...

Been soaking up all the info here, too, so keep it coming boys!

Here she is:

Yesterday afternoon, Island Lake north of Duluth. 46.5" and back into the lake she went. Many thanks go to my host with the boat, shogun, who had a follow, but now it's his turn for a muskie.

Island Lake is south of Duluth isnt it?

[royalwolf]

Well, there are probably dozens of Island Lakes south of Duluth but this one is north of Duluth about 20 miles or so.

I just asked my buddy about that, and he said there are few of them. So just like Round Lake.

That is a pretty looking muskie, There is a Island Lake north of Duluth. I got a muskie out of there a few years back, only a 35"er.
