Hi Guys!

I see you've been posting about Yellow. I went there with my ten year old on last Friday, the 22nd. We fished in a light rain for about 4 hours from 11-3pm. We caught about 8 walleyes, most between 14 and 14 3/4 inches, but one keeper at 15. We fished the windblown shore, on the dropoff. The walleyes were where the clouds of baitfish were, 15-22 feet deep.

My 10 year old caught about a 25 lb muskie (released after picture) while we were jigging for walleyes. It took about 20 - 30 minutes to land. I had to land it by hand with no net or anything with that could handle it. A muskie fisherman on the lake took a picture for us. We had no camera with in the rain. He is sending the picture in the mail. Will try to post it when it is received.

Nice Bonus fish and of course his biggest fish to date!

Best luck to all.

NICE.Sounds like you had a pretty good outing, except for the rain. You have to love those bonus fish, he'll remember that for a long time. Good luck

Way to go!

I will be back up there again this weekend.

I too had a sucker out for muskies but no takers, was it about 43-45 incher?

Hey mudman and spindry!

We didn't have a sucker out for muskie. He caught it on a walleye jig and minnow with 6lb test. That's why it took so long to get it in. Had to pick it up by hand to get it in the boat. He got lucky, the muskie got hooked by the trailer hook. I think that's how we caught it without the line breaking.

I may go up there again tomorrow for a while. Will report back if I do. If you're out and see a 14' lumicraft with a 15 hp Mariner, say hi!

By the way, it was between 44 and 45 inches and the fattest and thickest muskie I've seen for its length. Looked like some of those pictures from Mille Lac

Went to Yellow yesterday. Heavy fog and no wind, couldn't even tell where I was on the lake 100 yards from shore. Tried the same methods as last Friday, but no takers today.

Anyone else been out?

Hey Mudman and spindry!

We received a copy of that muskie this fall from that fisherman on Yellow Lake. Many thanks to him. Also thanks to Matt Johnson for making this picture possible. Hope the picture comes through otherwise I'll try again. Nathan caught this one in the fall of 2004 (better late than never)!
