Location: WI | Put in 15 1/2 hours this weekend and got one fish, a chunky 39" on a Manta. Boat partners had 3 strikes and got 2 pike. A lot slower action than I anticipated. |

| Fished on Friday and Saturday night and never saw a musky. I agree with JKahler, it was much slower than I expected. |

Location: Roscoe IL | 0 for 6 on suckers. One of those the fish just dropped it before I could figure out witch way it was heading so I could set the hooks against it. Heavy rains sure filled up the lakes & flowages uo Nort, water temps still a tad warm at 58 to 62deg. Trees are popping with colors and we had a perfect day yesterday to be on the water. Very pretty and warm.
Should only get better going forward! |

| Traveled 4.5 hours on Friday to get up to Eagle River. Grab dad and we head to the launch. Three rigs are pulling out of the lake. One of them is a guide and he tells me that he fished the lake for 6 hours without so much as a follow. Very windy out there as well.... Dad and I launch the boat, I make one cast and catch a 35 incher. Not a big fish, but it totally made the drive worthwhile. Only fished for about an hour after this due to the wind, two pike were caught.

| 6 hours on Twin Valley / Gov Dodge on Saturday. Not even a lazy follow. I even got desperate enough to break out the jigs. Tough day. |

Location: Grand Forks ND | Had my first real heartbreaker this weekend. Fishing a Suick and a low 50-class muskie hit it on the second pause. Reel it all the way back to the boat and it didn't want to go into the net and dove straight down. Instead of letting it take its run, I panic and pull up on the rod to get it back towards the net. Well the thing came shooting straight up and totally cleared the water, thrashing around like mad, and I'm thinking to myself, "this is not good". Well, it wasn't, and when the fish landed back in the water I felt no weight on my pole and my Suick is just sitting there on top of the water! I have been thinking about this now for two days straight and just replaying all the things I could have done differently. This might take a while to forget this one! |

| Our group got three for our efforts this weekend up in Vilas. The biggest being a 38"er. It was extremely rough conditions on Friday, but that is when we had the most action. I can't wait for this next weekend. The action should be much better. |

Location: Richfield, MN | Steve I went through all the videos from the Leech tourney. Awesome job on the interviews. I even got a few pointers for this weekend for my first time fishing Leech!!!!! Now if I do not catch any muskies while fishing for them then I will have to switch to walleyes and start catch the skies then!!!!!!
Thanks

| Fished Friday, Saturday and Sunday (half day). I landed a 40 (sucker), 42 (sucker) and 43 (spinner bait). My partner got his personal best 46.5 (sucker). A few other fish were caught in a couple boats that were with us. Weather made a big switch on Saturday morning from cloudy to clear but all in all a very good weekend for us.

Location: Hayward, WI | Caught this 47 and change on a Cowgirl in the 8 on Sunday. My Dad had a 45+ follow his Gerry's Girl that had quite a few weeds hanging on it about an hour later. Around sunset I had a 40 incher hit and shake off and also had a small follow.
All fish seen were on double 10's and on weedlines/over weeds in 6-8 feet of water. Let's see some pictures of the nice fish that have been caught this weekend guys!
