| Caught a bunch of Snook in the 40" class on Hellhounds and Sebile Stick Shadd and hooked them on figure 8's. Also have targeted Tarpon on Muskie Baits with lots of success. We always catch very big Smallies on prop style baits. |

| Last weeken I fished a tournament in Iowa, I was cranking a bucktail slow in shallow water, and five minutes into fishing i had caught one! As it came up to the net we found that I had caught about a 10# catfish. Only fish iI caught all day. |

Location: Wakefield, MI | I caught a 22" Largemouth on a Ratman pike shaped lure. Only fish I've ever caught on the thing. Looks great coming through the waster too, you'd think it would have tooth marks, but just a bass.

Location: Iowa | 23" largemouth on a rabid squirrel bucktail. About 12 pound catfish trolling a large crankbait. 50 plus pound carb on a DDD, but that one was foul hooked. I was upset when I saw what it was. Put up a GREAT fight, and I just knew it was a huge muskie. What else would hit a DDD and fight so hard. Numerous other bass on different baits. I did watch Ty Sennett play with a large snapping turtle once. It was chasing his topwater around. They are faster than I thought they could be. |

Location: north metro, MN | Coolest catch for me was last year. 26" Walleye on a phantom in the figure 8. |

| The most unusual two were a giant channel catfish on an 8" Jake and a very large carp on a 7" Believer. In both cases I was trolling and thought I was snagged when the fish first hit. I once had a gar come up to the surface and follow--but not strike--a Topraider. Of course I've had bonus walleye, largemouth bass, and not impressive smallmouth. I've also taken a few bonus pike. |

Location: Green Bay, WI | Fishing on Green Bay with my uncle one morning. He had never caught a musky "on purpose," so I took him out fishing. First fish--BIG musky on a perch-colored Jake. He lost it before we got to see the whole fish, but the tail was tremendous in size. So now, I'm up. Bang...off goes the rod. 10-pound cat hit that same Jake. Oi vey...
So now he's up again. 30 minutes later, rod goes off again: 54" fat girl, basically swims right to the boat and into the net.
Apparently I'm a great guide, but one of the unluckiest *anglers* out there.
TB
EDIT: Almost forgot... The tail on the 54" musky was not as large as the one my uncle lost an hour before that. No idea how big the fish was, but it put up a much harder fight than the one we caught.
