| Just wondering how many of you have caught a musky released it and on the very next cast nailed another one? |

| I got a 29" and 46" on back to back casts about 17 years ago. I have also caught 3 muskies (36,39,43) and a 10 pound bass within about a 20-30 min time frame. |

| 45.5 and 42.5 last fall on consecutive casts. That was after an hour of not even seeing one. Very, very cool. |

Location: Nebraska | Just getting to around dusk, a 44, three casts later on another spot a 46 six casts later on another spot a 40. Then I quit fishing to go back to tell everyone at the cabin how well I did. Window WIDE open and I quit fishing. Dumb. |

LOL, similar story for me. I caught 4 fish in 5 casts once. Dairyland Res., early season, sometime back in the late 90's. IIRC, it went like this: pull up to spot, first cast, 34". Next cast, 35.5". Next cast, 32". Next cast, nothing. (I was like, WTF, where'd they go?). But next cast, boom, 42.5".
So, yeah, the window was obviously wide open...but instead of continuing to fish through the remainder of the sunset/dusk, after the 42.5", I just packed up the gear and left for home. Not sure why I didn't keep casting, I was on a crazy high at that point, so maybe not thinking straight....I still wonder sometimes how many more fish were catchable on that spot. |

| 46" and 46" (different fish).
After I caught the first one and cracked a beer to celebrate, I said, "You know, we should probably be casting instead."
First cast...BAM! partner scores another nice one off the same exact spot.

| My friend lost a GIANT he hooked in a figure eight a few summers ago. It was LONG and THICK and it ate his whole double dog and still came undone.
After 30 seconds of silence and a loud obscenity, he cast his bait as far as he could in anger , immediately hooked a high 40's fish that violently jumped and threw his bait 10'.
It was reallllllly quiet for a while after. |

| I have never caught a muskie on back to back casts but have caught another one within a hour thou, but if I did I know a window opened and keep casting because it isn't going to last long. After landing a fish I always like to get right back at it because you never know if a window just opened up and you could catch multiple fish is a short amount of time. Anyone that has fished for muskies for any length of time knows its hours of boredom followed by moments of fast action. Its seems that's how muskies are whenever your not paying attention they will show up and or hit so I always say to myself stay alert because its going happen and I got to be ready. You know the old saying luck is when chance and opportunity meet. |

| Got a 46 a couple casts into my first outing last year. The release was tedious, as she flopped going onto the board and banged her head a bit. Next cast had a bigger one come from deep and miss the bait hanging on the 8. How it missed baffles me. |

| Earlier this year I got back-to-back tigers (41", 38"). Was releasing the first and saw the 2nd swirl in the exact same spot. About 30 mins later I pulled a 3rd from that spot as well.
Quite a few years back, went something like 21", 21.5", 23" bass on consecutive casts with a top-raider.

| Caught a 39 and a 43 on back to back casts and then caught a 40 two casts later. We ended up with 6 fish that day plus lost a couple other fish in a couple obvious bite windows that lasted an hour each |

| My friend and I had a double once where we both caught fish on the figure 8 at the same time, both working our fish by the boat at the same time. We each brought our based in and send theres one, he said, "I got it"...before he could finish saying that, I hooked mine...it was quite fun trying to get the rest figured out...neither was terribly big but it was a blast. |

| yep several times, I remember one in particular catching a 32" right on a spot we had seen a couple of very nice fish the previous day, 32" slams the bait and I yell I got her! 3 cranks of the reel and I comment "the rats moved in" , quick water release.. next cast one of the big girls eats  ... I almost had back to back 50"+ once... night fishing stick a 51" next cast lost a fish equal to or slightly larger right at the net, I think the net touched her and she woke up.. would have been crazy to get back to back 50's, but definitely was the least mad I've ever been losing a 50, was still jacked up from the first - ha! |

Location: Minnesota. | A decade back I'd been casting for over a week with nada but "tails" to show. My college-aged son comes up and in just 3 casts had a 45" and a much smaller one.
I told him jokingly "One more an' yer goin' swimmin'!!"

Location: Jane Lew, WV | My friend has been having terrible luck this year. He has lost 14 fish and hadn't yet landed one. We went out and he had a follow, couple casts later he hooks the fish and lands it. After a little celebration he picks up his rod and makes a cast.. BAM another one. He was pretty happy, as he should have been. |

| long time ago I was alone and got two 36ers.
with my friend we both had one on suckers one November. Mine went west, his went east, so I let out tons of line so he could get his 38. My line iced up and I couldn't get it back in the reel so I tried to hand land it like ice fishing, but it shook off just below the net. |

It was Putin, with his shirt off casting while on the back of a brown bear. |
