The Kevin Worrall Memorial went very well this year, raising a substantial donation for the Ronald McDonald House and drawing 83 teams to Pelican Lake. Slamr and Merckid fished it and stayed at the house; I was a judge out on the water. Video to follow soon under that thread.
Slamr and I got out for a couple hours pre-front this morning, and had a pretty good morning on Weagles.

Just got back from AML on Eagle.
Usually don't post alot, or pictures, although the atached is a chunk of a 51"er I boated while solo out on the lake. She ate at boatside and it was choas to say the least. Got her in the net and popped the tri-pod out for one "ok" shot...too bad I didn't get the whole fish. The following picture is her swimming off. That pic really shows how "wide" she was...
Awesome trip...

Merckid, the fish were active for about two hours this morning, and as you can see, Slamr got his in an area we haven't hit much. Moved a solid 47, and another low 40's on the rocks/weeds. Nothing at all by the landing...weird.

"How'd the Muskies treat you this weekend?"
Like a baby treats a diaper.
I fished Thursday night and Friday with Chris Haley down at Buckhorn lake. Last count we had 18 fish to the boat. And, 3 more surfacing / porpoising.
I had one hooked halfway thru the 8 that came off moments later. Friday night, I had 6 to the boat on a Mauser Double Bladed Doetail, including a big one and one even bigger. Just would not convert, must have been waiting for the weather change that arrived once I got home. Awesome couple of days, can't thank Chris enough for letting me play with his pet muskies. Water temps in the mid-70's, but low, slow water with little current, they need rain down there, too. m

I only managed to get out about 2.5 hours on Sunday morning. Took Nik and we had a great time, but all we could muster was a 13" smallie that Nik got. Maybe Dane and I will be able to get out today while Nik's in school!
Nice fish Jim! I love the pic of that thing swimming away.

Got out on the water saturday for little bit, manage to move several decent fish, losing a low 30 that went airborne boatside. Got to fish with Perry Peterson from Washington Muskie Inc Chapter and hear about their plans on growing their musky fishery out west.

Fish were moving before sunrise Sat AM. Lost a mid-40's, and had another blow-up/miss a TR. As soon as the sun rose everything stopped and I only fished 'til 10 am.

This weekend the muskies liked hitting our baits and not getting hooked. Of the 8 that actually struck, I boated a 38. Lou had 6 blowups on his topraider and got a 36. I am one for my last seven shallow invader hookups and that is with the modification.
By chance, I met Firstsixfeet this weekend. We talked briefly on saturday morning and then on sunday we found out who each of us were. Always great to put a face to a name, hopefully we will fish some of those lakes up there sometime.

Roy Hinkfoth and I took a party out on North Twin last weekend. We fished from Thursday afternoon until noon on Sunday.
We boated a 36".39", 46", had a low 40" muskie break off at the boat after going under the boat after being hooked and going 3' airborne on the otherside of the boat. We had action on over a dozen legals and a few over 45". After the first front went through on late Friday morning, things were very slow until late Saturday night, with our two biggest blow-ups on Sunday morning showing major improvements in conditions, after having 3 legals caught around us within a hundred yards. All the fish were very "Fiesty" and very aggressive! Water temperatures were in the high 60's. Fall is coming!
