Location: Pittsburgh, pa		I finally got my 1st 50" musky on Thursday evening during the thunder storms. I was casting a super top raider. This is also my 1st top water fish. The fish weighed 30lbs and was released.

I am having trouble posting the pictures. Can someone post them for me. Thanks Joe

Seems like the words paint it pretty well, everything except the drooling glassy eyed excitement of the angler!

Location: Pittsburgh, pa		Yes It was thunder and lightning so I pulled the boat up on the shore. I sat under the trees for 5 minutes then started casting as another storm was on its way up river. I dont have much confidence with top waters or even firetiger color but that sure changed on Thursday evening.

Location: The Yahara Chain		Congrats on the fish but sitting under a tree when lightning is present is the worst spot to be.

Joe,

Great job man, you've got to give us some info on the fight I see where you said that you were on shore waiting out some weather. I just shake my head when you least expect it thats when its going to happen. Crazy fish.
