I want to help my wife & oldest daughter catch their first muskies in 2004.
That along with catch a bigger muskie than I did last year are the only two goals I have set for myself this New Year.

Location: oswego, il | I want to fish new waters with my kids and keep them catching fish. I hope to keep up with my past two years successes and maybe add another lake or two to my saturday fishing.
I also want to figure out how to post pictures so I can post here and sell on ebay.

Location: Pelican Lake/Three Lakes Chain | I too, vow to fish more in '04. I also will make it a high priority to get my 8 year old nephew and 7 year old cousin bit by the musky bug. I want to add two or three lakes on to my "pet lake list".
Boating a fifty would be nice but its awfully hard to include that in a resolution list. |

Location: Ogden, Ut | In light of the fact that these things have never come to fruition for me anyway, I hereby resolve to:
-gain a bunch of weight
-fish lots less
-work lots more
-quit anything resembling exercise
-stop taking family members fishing
-lose more fish boatside
-cease all of this figure 8 nonsense
-dull my hooks
-keep any and all fish I manage to catch
I'll probably throw a bunch of trash in the water too, but can't promise it.
Happy and productive New Year all!
K.

Location: Lindenhurst, Illinois | Fish more often, but here is the deal I plan to fish just as much as last year by myself and with my partner, my increase in fishing time is going to come from fishing with my kids (9 and 11). I think if I can get the kids out of the house, if just for a few hours, that might make the long fishing days a little more acceptable for the wife.
In terms of numbers of fish 15-20. |

Location: Lafayette, IN | 1) To spend more time this season fishing with "family only" so we can enjoy the boat together. 2) To "better my best" by even a half inch 3) To once again prove to my bassin family that there is more than one way to catch a musky (i.e. Trolling) 4) For my son and I to take some young people out who have rarely enjoyed a day of fishing. Imagine the smiles that 50+ silvers in a day will bring to a kid! 5) To meet more people from the "Musky First" board. Your experiences have all been a lot of fun to follow.

Location: Tomahawk, Wisconsin | Hmmm, three big resolutions this year!!! 1) This year I will not yell at my fiance to net the low 50 inch fathead at boatside but calmly ask her to dip the net in the water and put the fish in the middle of it, for by muskie season this year she will be my wife.2) I will fish more with my dad!! He's the guy who started all of this for me and my brother Steve 30 plus years ago!!3) Remember to give back as much as I get out of this sport!! |

Location: Iowa | Fish with a couple more people from the board. More and bigger fish, but that's always the obvious one. Get my Dad out more, he hasn't caught a muskie in about 25 years. Make the times work out more often to fish with someone else, not by myself 99% of the time. Get to Canada, but northern Minnesota might work if need be. At least 3 trips to the "CHIP", learn a little more about it each time I'm there. |

Landing muskie # 1000 is now in our sights.
