| This is a fish I caught on Cave Run Lake in Morehead KY on Sunday morning. She was caught using a 12" Hawg teaser from Hawg Seeker Tackle Co. Thanks to Hawg Seeker Tackle Company for providing an AWSOME bait. A special thanks to Mike and Corey of T-N-T guide service and owners of Cave Run Proshop! This fish was released with no harm done!

Nice fish! I drove down from Mpls. and met up with 2 friends from Chitown and fished for 3 days,& had a blast out on the water. We left the small baits in the box. Caught a 38" on a reg. bulldawg in 28ft. of water, a 37 & a FAT 46" on a reef hawg in 3ft. of water, go figure ! my buddy lost 2 other fish on a hawg teaser. anyway I thought this little trip would cure my Cabin Fever but now I'm sicker than ever!!! Jerk baits on the Cave in the spring time!! who would have thunk it?? Oh ya, those guys at Cave Run do a great job.

I have been helping Hawgseekers with developing their products for the past few years and I can tell you we had ton of fun and caught a lot of fish while we were finalizing the Hawg Teaser before bringing it to market.

| Hey Mike,
Good lookin' fish! I was down there over the weekend and early in the week myself, caught 2, one about 40 and the other a mitey fat and spunky 36- One on a trap and one on a jig. It was like fishing in Willy Wonka's chocolate river, eh? Thought I might have Augustus Gloop on the line with that first one! Can't see what you've got until she breaks water. Fish seemed quite active.
Can't wait to make it back down there! |

Location: Cincinnati, Ohio | Way to go. We are headed there weekend after this. Water temps at green were 45 warming to 47 when there was some sun. Allen caught a 43 with grougho on a reef runner. We had action every day but no fishies in the boat. |

| Water temps I found on the 13th, 14th in the big end of the lake were from 44 to 48 degrees- backs of the south facing coves were the warmest at around 48 in the afternoons. Main lake was around 45.

| I didn't get the correct girth measurement on this fish. I'm new at muskie fishing and didn't know the exact spot to measure for the girth. I had her in the water and tried to get a measurement before she swam off. I got the measurement right below her gills, and couldn't get down far enough for the correct measurement. I got 22" just below the gills, but she was bigger than that. I know now where to get the girth. I ESTIMATE at 25 to 26 inches. I normally just get a quick length and release all my fish. What do you guys think about my ESTIMATED girth? Thanks for all the replies. Getting back on the water tomorrow to see if I can catch another one. Goin to be hard to top this one!!! |

| I am guessing the girth at 34-35 lbs.
|

|
Location: The Yahara Chain | I would guess 23.5" or 24" on the girth. Girths over 23" are rare. Awesome fish. |

| Here are a couple more fish that was caught today on Cave Run Lake. The first one was a 43 incher I caught with Corey of T-N-T Guide Service. The second one is a 40 incher caught by Mike of T-N-T Guide Service. They both were caught on Hawg Teasers.
