well, i have to brag at least a little bit here- since i caught my first legal muskie last week- we spent 4 days on the water- literally day and night... and between 3 of us, we caught and released 10 nice muskies.... mine being the largest- an awesome 45 inch ~25lb fish... my first legal muskie ever- i hope the pictures come out good- what a great way to kick off the season! [:bigsmile:]

anyone else get their first legal already this season? i finally feel like a real muskie fisherman! now do i set my sights on the first 50 incher??? haha- that might be a little too much to ask for... tight lines to everyone- my muskie fever just got worse... [:bigsmile:]

WTG Zach, you now have practice for what's awaiting you here in August and the 50 incher is not out off the picture odds are better that you will then won't catch one. [:p]

I agree Zach, popping a 45" opening weekend and having it be your personal best is a major rush and great way to kick off the season.[:bigsmile:]

haha- definitely a good tease for the week we are going to have in August Richard... I Can't wait (have to stop thinking about it right now- 2 more months to go...)

Mike- did you get up to the Chip for the opening weekend? any luck?

Steve W. - my brother sends a thanks to you- because it was you who said we absolutely MUST have an undertaker in our lure arsenal- and that lure resulted in my bro's personal biggest muskie last week too- he appreciated your advice! [:bigsmile:]

55, your toast. The disease will set in really hard now and there is no cure. Just start buying tackle boxes, rod racks and a lawyer if you are married, you are going to need them.[;)]

Hey Zack, Yes I made it up for the opener. The season is behind pace, and once again with my hypocrisy knowing no boundaries, I fished for the spawning muskies. I managed to catch a 35” and slightly caught the interest of a few big ones. I can’t wait to get back up. Are you going to fish her this year? [:sun:]
