Location: Roscoe IL | He didn't complain when I got him out of bed at 4am. The muskie gods shined down for putting in the time & effort. I'm one proud papa.
Here is a picture of Joey's first muskie over 40". Before this fish, one & only muskie was a 29" Tiger..
45.25"er caught on lake Mohawksin.

Location: Roscoe IL | He followed it up with a 35"er the next day on Onida. Dad at this point has a 21'er out of Little arbor Vida, so he makes sure to tell me that..

Location: Roscoe IL | Thanks all -
He kept on saying, nine thousand nine hundred and ninty nine every cast except that one. I just herd a GOT ONE, I got a quick glance of the fish before it went strait to the bottom. He's asking me to take him to the lake by the zoo (Wingra) already.. I call it lake goonie goo goo, just put you head in the water & you come up with fish Gus.. Not really because I get skunked on Wingra all the time, but it's funny anyway.
Too bad School started today or we could make a run after work hours.. Mom would have my @ss in the ringer if I kept him out late on a school night.
Working for the weekends.
