| I just got back from LOW with the three Bobs (actually I have another fishing buddy named Bob too) and we got 10 muskies which included two 51 inchers, guess who caught them (two Bobs, all I got was a 48 incher feel sorry for me), anyways back to the question do you still get buck fever? After 27 years of musky fishing it happened to me Thursday night I believe I had the biggest musky of my life on. She hit a tallywacker next to the boat and I was just memorized watching as she froffed up the water like a outboard and then she pitched the tallywaker back at me. After some soul searhing and crying (there is crying in musky fishing, I realized I never set the hook. We estimated her to between 54 and 56 inches, so do you at times still get buck fever? |

| You know some people I know, when we talk about muskie fishing laugh when I tell them I have seen people go totally slack jawed and motionless when a big fish comes near the boat, or gets hooked. I have seen it, and have had it happen to a degree. Its just a matter that when you go from total boredom to massize excitement things like that can happen. Its a matter of too much adreneline too fast. Your rush happens so fast it actually shuts down your receptors of sense. Sounds like muskie fishing to me. I wouldnt feel bad if I were you, its part of the game, and its better to know you had a big one on than to never even have sniffed one. She will be there waiting for ya next time, dude. |

| Hey Musky Alan- been there, done that! What a rush- actually I can replay that event in my mind in finite detail- even better recall than first +50 catch. What's that tell ya-- go do it again? [:p]
That's why big girls like "Evinrude" hang around- to terrorize poor Muskie Hunter's so they can see the "deer in the headlight" look on our faces! ;-) [:0]
I'm sure you'll never forget the event or the spot[;)]
Have fun
"It's your choice to Catch'em & Let'em Go!"
unless they let them selve's go- [:knockout:] a.k.a. "The Sponge Bob Release"[:bigsmile:]
