Location: Angola, IN | Thanks. After the release, things got weird.
The fish came to the surface after the release and was lazily swimming around with a fin or two out of the water. I circled the fish protecting it from boat traffic until it went under. When she did, I began to motor from the site. There was a lot of people on the nearby shoreline watching the fish swim about, asking me all kinds of questions, and most of them were intoxicated.
When I looked back for the fish one more time...to make sure she stayed down, two guys were wading in the water where it was with a bass net. I got upset and motored back towards them. When they lifted the net, I saw the back of the fish come out of the water, then a big tail flip and it was gone. Thank God. I was ticked off, told me fiance to steer the boat out deep because I was getting off the boat to address this situation. Just then a DNR boat came flying up, saw the commotion, saw the two guys wading in the water with a net, and they immediately docked their boat on their pier and began addressing the situation in a more civil manner than I was about to.
I heard one guy....beer in hand say to the officers, "it's just a fish!"....and his response was, "No it's not, it's a musky."

Not sure what bling you are talking about.....but musky fishing out of my boat is kinda "non-bling"....it's an old 43 year old ski-boat....I always say, "that's why they called it a ski boat." HaHa. Mus-ski...get it? LOL!! ROAR!!
Shoot, I don't even have a depth finder. That old Vexlar on my dash doesn't even work. |

As a matter of fact...I have a 2' piece of 2x4 that I use if I need to trim up my motor...just pull up on the cowl and jam the board between the lower unit and the transom
A small pair of vice grips are needed for throttle control on my kicker. |
