Location: Wishin I Was Fishin' | I finally did it.
I broke the 50" mark with a 50.5" spotted Musky today.
I will not tell you where, but I think it is the only place to legally c atch a spotted this time of the year in Wisconsin! Don't post guesses as I will not respond.
She hit a casted, Double Weighted Suick. Don't know what that is? Check out my web site ~ http://www.jomusky.tripod.com
I am still shaking and I caught her at 2:50pm today.
Pictures to follow. |

Location: Wishin I Was Fishin' | I will admite it, I have fished Long lake a few years back. I doubt I will ever go back though.
I did say that it was a legally caught fish.
Thanks for the compliments!
I will post the pics tomorrow afternoon. When I got to Wally World tonight after fishing, their photo lab was closing. I have to wait till tomorrow to get the pics ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I can't wait!
Oh ya, today, Roger Watters and his brother Ron shared the boat with me on Big Green. Roger caught a 35" on a Drop Belly and Ron caught a fatty 40.5" Pike. We, also, had two other follows and five smallies around 15". It was a nice outting put on by Eric Larsen and the guys from Winnebagoland Musky Club. Thanks again for the invite!
What a weekend. I'm still freakin'

| I talked with Joe tonight. I could tell he still had that big, sh_t-eatin' grin on his face, as he was hard to understand! But make no mistake, this fished was released very healthy, to fight another day. Joe said it was a real slob, too. Can't wait to see the pics. |

Location: Wishin I Was Fishin' | Hi all,
Sorry it took so long to get the pics up.
My wife kept me busy tonight, but I suppose I have to give that to her considering I was fishing all weekend.

Location: Wishin I Was Fishin' | By the way, I will be getting a new bottle of Gentlemen Jack for next weekend!
I thought that once I broke 50 I would be able to kick back, take it easy, and not fish so hard, but it only made it worse. |
