| My son Luke caught his first muskie today, after 2 years of trying! A nice 42 1/2 " fish. He was using a crazy frog colored slidin' shad from musky magic tackle. He actually hooked a small northern and the muskie came up and hit it. The front hooks stayed in the pike and the back hooks stuck the muskie! He is pumped. when we get the pics developed, we will post. Sugar Lake Mn. The fish are going!

I take my 2 boys out all the time and no matter how many pike from 20" to 35" they are just stoked to be out catching them.
Esox can be helpful to promote the fishing bug!
Just the Smiles are worth it!

| Here are the pics from Clint of his son's first and the mauled pike. Look closely at the mid section of the pike and you can see perfect "U" shaped bite marks! Congrats again to you and your son, Clint!

| That's a nice ski your boy caught! Congrats to him.
It always seems that muskies will hit other fish when kids are in the boat. My son had a mid to high 40 inch fish tbone a 14" crappie on Pewaukee once. Another time at a kids outing on Pewaukee, a boy had a 15" walleye up to the net, when a mid 30 ski grabbed it and took off, snapping the line. I had 3 kids with that day, and they all saw it happen and squealed! One time on Big Siss with my daughter and wife.
Last time, was at the last Kly outing on Okauchee. This time, Theedz caught a mid 20 pike on a jig, and a 50" ski t-boned it. I got a couple not so great pics, and the pike had bubbles coming out it's side when the ski bit down hard. 9 minutes, Theedz played it, before the jig came out, and the muskie finally got to eat. We laughed really hard at that one. Oh, the kid that day? DaveJ!

Location: On your favorite spot | Good work Luke! I talked to Luke at the boatramp as they were leaving the lake and he was really excited - didn't even mention he got two fish on one cast! He described the fish just like an old pro. I'm sure we'll see you on the lake more often now!
