My wife Katie caught her first Muskie, a fat 52.5 incher ! We were fishing Lake Vermilion ,she picked the spot, stold my creppin tom, used my heavy abu 7000 reel, [katies a grandmother] and fought the monster like a pro. The fish was so heavy it bent the beckman muskie net! To prove it was no flook she caught a fat 45" latter in the day .Please let her know how rare it is to get a 50 incher. ps both fish are still swimming today!



Thanks the Boomer

Hey Boomer!!

Get a picture to me at [email protected]. Sounds like a cover shot to me!!

What a day. Many muskie fishermen travel the continent trying to come close to what she accomplished and never get close...WOW!!

Boomer, tell the "better half" great job and remind her that it only gets tougher from now on. I have caught litterally hundreds of Muskies and do not have one that large yet. I will keep trying however. Mrs. Boomer, great job of catching that big one. Hope that you get many more like it.

Indeed, Steve definitely nailed that one down. I too happen to be one of those adicted souls traveling the continent, lol. But I wouldn't have it any other way!

Congratulations; First for an excellent catch and also for it's release.
