Location: North St. Paul, MN		I caught a 42" this morning with everything acquired through M1st. I'm sure there are lots of guys out there that can claim this. I got to thinking about it...probably the first time it's happened to me...

Got her on a giant "Whoosh" made by "mnmusky." The lure was attached to a leader made by "BNelson." The leader was tied to power pro I acquired from "Geno" at the MN expo. The line was spooled to a 6501 C3 I traded with "seilers" last summer. And that reel was seated on a TI 9' XXH telescoping I got through some pm's and emails with "Tackle Industries."

Also, my first metro fish this year...finally!

Location: North St. Paul, MN		Too funny! I wasn't going to post the pics. After walking out with her as she swam away, I got to thinking about all that went into that catch. Thanks M1st and all the great guys that make this pursuit what it is for me...a blast!

Location: Blaine, MN		Don't forget our Shimano Rep asked for some feedback on that spool of power pro once you get a good amount of use on it. Nice fish!

Location: Aurora		I bought a custom rod from a builder off of craigslist who was a long time Muskie1st member who told me about the site and I signed up soon after and cursed him ever since but i still love that rod and all the ones he's built for me since then.
Thank you craigslist!!
