Fishing solo again,I went ahead and just made sure I would never have a day like this again.Was fishing by 7:15 this morning and by 10:30 I had five in the net.Added two more by 2:30 and lost two more beside the boat in between some catches.AND....I have a new PB at 47 inches.Did a little better with pictures this time and all fish were out of the water less than 20 seconds....Somebody wake me...

In order caught except no picture for the first fish..

Nice work man! One bit of advice, use that butt seat behind you to hold the camera as you'll get more of a straight on angle and won't hide your face (unless that's your goal haha). Either way, very nice day on the water!

I tried the butt seat but my little waterproof camera on a small tripod would not cooperate and stay upright.I logged conditions....wind was blowing out of the east all day..

Sounds like an awesome outing! I beat my numbers record yesterday with 4 in the boat, then I had to stop and go to work. Mine were 29.5, 34, 34, and 47.25". Started with the 47, and every fish got smaller after that, pretty funny!

Are you casting or trolling? I also agree with the poster above, your 47" has some great markings!

Everything caught casting...on a body of water most say is a trolling bite only.I have fished this water for more than 8 years and have put a ton of hours in to pattern the fish year around providing water temps are safe...

Fred, I am stoked at the success you've bee having down there. You landed 271 inches of fish witch is probably longer than the boat you caught them in. Were talking 22 and a half feet of fish! That's like some Louie Spray, Art Lawton kinda #*#*. Totally crazy! Now I'm a little apprehensive about coming down to fish tomorrow with the crappy weather and all the Muskie in the lake having sore mouths. I don't think the State of Missouri has seen a better day of Musky fishing than what you just done, 22.5 feet.....That crazy!
Good job, made a mark and talk to ya soon.

I had a stretch of fishing just like that for much of last summer - started to get a little cocky, like I had them figured out:)
Well I didn't cause I struggled this summer.
Good job - get out there soon again and ride the wave as long as you can!

Wake you...why!? Keeping doing what you're doing and when (if) you hit a lull we'll wake you and tell ya what happened while you were unconcious, dude.

Had my first trip of our Fall season yesterday and caught two, moved two others later in the day. The fish were where I expected them to be. For a moment I thought I was a stud. Thanks for pointing out that that's not even close to the truth.

Heck of a morning. Heck of a day. There is more to life than the cult of the rod, though.

He didn't claim any of them to be 70 lbers so I dont see the comparison.

On a serious note, great job!

That's incredible. It's times like that when you wish your buddies were in the boat with you to help share the experience. Nice work!
