I started musky fishing in the fall of 98. I have been fishing all my life but untill that point had only caught 2 small musky.

About half a season - just enough for them to have a hook in me.

This will be my 6th year hunting the damned things!! Why I love it so much I don't know. But I'm hoping I've got another 60 years to go after 'em. If they don't drive me insane before then!!

This will be my third season. I am already looking forward to the upcoming season. I don't know how I am going to be able to wait another 4 or 5 months.

Over 35 years. Quite a few over 35 years if one counts the trips my Dad took me on when I was a teenager.

I caught my first muskie in 1959.
This will be my 45th season, so I guess I'm getting better at it.

I've been fishing for over 30 years and chasing Musky for the last 22 years.
The last 12 have been strictly Muskies except for the occasional panfish outing with my kids.

2004 will be my 22nd year of fishing for Muskies. It will also be my first year of fishing Muskies outside of MN. I am heading down to Illinois in April to shake of the rust and test out those new lures from the Expo's and Ebay.

Good luck to all in 2004.

30 years of being a "multi species angler". For the last 16 years, other than the white-tailed carp outings in the spring before muskie season opens, it has been 100% muskies.

13 years, thanks mainly to the drought that killed our brook trout. Many thousands of dollars in new gear, thousands of hours on the water, and wearing my marriage to the threads..... ain't it great!!!! "no sleep 'til 55""

Since October of 02, and I cant imagine how I got by so long without it. I guess for the fight I would prefer a 20lb king in the St. Joe, but for excitement and a challenge their is nothing like the ESOX!!


Hey Tomcat..you ready for some monster Gar???

starting with my father when i was 12, thats forty years! thats alot of muskies over the years, but the older I get the more I enjoy it. It's my favorite kind of fishing, nothing beats connecting with a 40"+ musky.
