Location: Ogden, Ut | After a wonderful week at the Goon, roasting in the heat and watching others catch muskies...I went home to lick my wounds. Don't get me wrong - I had a fantastic time and I highly encourage anyone interested in fishing muskies to experience the Goon, it's a fascinating place. Albiet quite humbling...
Anyway, I had to go to my home water to see if it was again possible to catch a fish - yes, I was seriously doubting my abilities for more than a few moments. Pike were plentiful yet muskies eluded me there.
Went out for about 4 hours this evening and popped a 38 inch tiger - my faith is restored. I'm now making plans to host a Utah outing - tiger hunts.

(my apologies for the water spots on the lens - that fish was nuts)

Location: Mpls, MN | Beautiful fish. Tigers have such great markings. Sorry to see the MN DNR won't be stocking them anymore or so I hear. Sure are cool looking. |

Location: Ogden, Ut | I haven't done as well in the fall the last couple of years, but that may have been due to the drought conditions and the overall lack of water left in the reservoir (down nearly 60 feet from full pool). I also didn't fish as much - the seasonal demand of my job dictate that fall is often spent at work. This year we've had tremendous water - last night the reservoir was only down about 2 1/2 feet below full pool - it hadn't even gotten that full at all the last 2 years. This fall could be really good. It would truly be a pleasure to show you some of my 'hog pens' and 'slabs' and 'clay banks'
