WOW!! what a day.It started out nasty. Winds out of the east at about 15mph, rain/sleet, and not much in the way of action. But we switched lakes and thats when things heated up!!I had two follows before I slowed down my bait and got my first hit. He smacked it at about 20' away from the boat, missed turned on a dime and smacked it again. The second time he got hooks!! Chae worked his but off today to help me land my first fish and showed me some tricks for another day.

The fish was put back to bed for another day. We had about 10 follows today and boated a nice pike too. The musky came on a magic maker in superman. Gotta go ice my arm..hope the pic comes out. Thanks again Chae!!!

Way to go!!! The disease has begun, you can not run and hide from it, time is your worst enemy. May there be many more fish like it.

Same here..if you ever need a fishing partner drop me a line. [email protected] , I can get off work about anytime and every other weekend I get 4 days off. We picked up one nice pike and had about 7 follows. Two were HOGS!! had one almost hit the boat, it came in so fast! Great day even if we didnt get a musky.

Hooked bad!![:p]
