fishcast Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Lots of good fish and good stories, but RK that was quite the day! Would have been awesome with fly rods too. I couldn't stop laughing reading about the broken rods and guy peeing his waders! Wish I had some day the fishing was so good I would pee my pants to keep fishing!

b1gf1sh1 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 yeah that same husky caught (this is in 5 days) a, if i rememmber correct, 41'' musky, mabe 44 i can't rememmber i stopped pics unless it's 46'' and fat, that 40'' pike, 6 true piggy walleye 28'' and up to 31'' and about, i don't know mabe, 50 other walleye 27'' down to mabe 14''. it was all about the pause, and the amount of current. so yeah it's one of the best baits going especially in the fall. this one looks like it went through a war. no shine left whatso ever. changed the hooks and just waiting for this year to start. swim whizz/believers are deffinatly awsome baits. quick change depths is a great option. ever just straight tie? if not try it. you wont be sorry.

Rebel9921 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 My biggest would be a 7 1/2 pounder out of Coon Lake in East Bethel... We hit that lake about 11am... fished all day... I caught the first fish of the day, a nice male Largemouth Bass... probably was guarding the nest... then nothing at all for the rest of the day... My brother and his brother-in-law was catching Pike left and right of me... I was cursed that day... I even "stole" my brother's rod once and 10 min later he caught a pike on my rod... made me so mad that day... I switched back... 10 min later other pike for him... He grinned at me... I told him I was gonna make him sorry... He said he was waiting for that... 15 min later... bam... it hit like a freight train... We headed home right after...

bigdog Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Longest were 50", one at 30# (2000) and one at 27# (1998). Both from Lac La Marte in the NWT. The 30 came off a white/orange blade Inhaler rattle tail. Largest in the states was a 20.5# from North Dakota on a Husky [jerk-bait]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polarsusd81 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Gissert,That is an awesome fish man. I should have set up a tip up just under the ice out there a week ago when I was on LOTW. We were just having too much fun poppin the eyes and saugs though. A couple days before we went up, someone iced a 42" pike in the house we were renting.

Harvey Lee, if it makes any difference that was one of the biggest pike tails I have seen in awhile. Had it at boatside only to be fouled by your own fishing buddy. I'm guessing that was a long ride home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
