| This has been a down year. I only got 8 so far over 30 inches, with only 2 over 40 inches with the biggest being 48 inches (a nice fish 28 to 30 lbs.). Lost a few and had too many fishless day trips and on extended trips had to come home early a few times due to my dad's alzihmers, not complaining just venting. Al |

| Unfortunately the boat is already put away and I managed to get shutout for the year. Last year was ny best year with 3. I was looking forward to improving upon that, but I was very disappointed. Even without fish in the boat I had some great times on the water with some great friends. Cant beat that.
Between getting married and buying a house fishing time was greatly decreased. And when I was on the water the fish were certainly not cooperating.
At least the things that kept me off the water were two big positives.

| I don't really know. I think it's somewhere around 20. Pretty good year for me, considering I rarely fished for them in June and July. I caught fish with great friends, and that is what I remember most. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I had a great year, fishing more for muskies in 2003 than I have the last three years combined, mostly because I actually live back in Rhinelander now instead of commuting back and forth every Friday and Sunday to southern Wisconsin.. THAT was a nightmare. Sue and I had a great time fishing the Rhinelander Muskie League, that was a hoot. Overall, 72 hit the net in the 2050 this year including Sabaskong Bay's fish. Jack got a nice one, I had a few Big Girls come to call, and Sue got her first legal. Keith and I put a bunch of nice 'lakes under 600 acres' fish in the net including several over 40" and one over 50". Slamr and I kept the streak going with a total of 6 fish in two days on the water. Wabigoon treated me well, and Sabaskong Bay was a cool trip. Theedz and Steve Van Lieshout are due, make sure you guys get up here again next year. Esox69 and Rob need another day on the water, let's do that again. I wanted badly to get out with One this year, just ran out of time. The 2050 is headed on a road trip to Wyoming, Kansas, and Nebraska, and will probably get shrinkwrapped when I get back. The 1690 will be ready until we ice over, so maybe there are a few more I will tease a bit before the year ends. |

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | So far this has been a great year. I am still looking for the 100 fish to meet my boat this year. My fish and client fish add up to 92 fish over 30" for the year so far. This weekend I will try my best to get closer to the 100 fish mark. What a awsome year !!! |

Location: Chippewa Falls Wisconsin | Nice going Extreme one.....I see your right on track to top my record of 114 in 126 days in the boat on Pewaukee. Then you will have only the "great one" to beat after that. LOL
I have slowed up as of late to do some fill freezer hunting with the bow but I got 38 so far this year with a few dandys to put a smile on my face. I dont know how many total in the boat..maybe 55 or so.
All in all its been fun and I have never regreted moving to gods country. |

Location: On the X that marks the mucky spot | I'm in the low 20's from 36-43". Not too bad considering I haven't gotten out much with the new kid. I've also moved more 50"+ fish this year than I have over the last few years combined. My only problem is that I've lost over a dozen fish that would measure between 40-50"+!!!!!! Over all pretty good considering I'm a new daddy. |

Location: mount prospect illinois | treats:
Try having twins!!!! I almost forgot what water looked like until late Sept when i brokered a 2 day fishing trip (i owe the mother in law) and i was able to boat 3 myself. Other than that i have had a couple of days on the water this year. Due to the lack of time on the water, all i can say is that it was awesome to be out when i was. with three boys now, i forsee a plethora of "ski" time in the future with them.
