Posts: 260 Location: Lockport, IL | My wife and I are up in Northern WI on a three day fishing trip. After seeing 9 fish yesterday my wife finally connected with her first musky ever! The fish taped out at 35". Needless to say, the moment was priceless! Attachments ----------------  POST_Musky01.jpg (99KB - 101 downloads) | ||

Posts: 260 Location: Lockport, IL | Thanks for the kind responses guys. My wife is a Purdue grad and loves her school! Magruter.....those are bobbers in the background. We were fishing a highly pressured lake and saw 24 follows within about 14 hours of fishing and couldn't get anything to hit. Everyone we talked to said they saw lots of fish as well, but could not get a hit. We threw every lure imaginable. We burned bucktails, twiched minnowbaits, ripped bulldawgs, jigged big joe's, straight retrieved swimbaits, bombed topwaters and everything else with figure 8's every cast. So finally, we went and bought a quick strike rig and a chub hoping that I could get a follow and the fish would take the sucker. The only thing is that I forgot to get a big bobber. I took the two bobbers that I had in an old tackle box and put the on the line. Needless to say, it only took about an hour with the sucker until that bobber went down and she hammered it. A couple quick pics and an awfully happy lady, the fish swam away immediately. It was only her 7th time out fishing in her LIFE! My dream came true and she has been infested with musky fever! I will have a partner to hunt muskies with for life! She is already talking about when we can go fishing for muskies again! | ||
