Are we talking every fish i've caught this year? I've caught a boat load of crappies, largemouths, and northerns. Probably too many to count.

I've got 23 this year so far worst I've seen it in the last 5 years I've only broke the 40 inch mark twice so far ! I'm not a guide but I normally get out at least one or twice a week for a few hours at a time .

I think it's kind of a silly question, I mean how many you've boated is so relative, some guys don't get to fish that much and only have 5 or 10, some guys are on the water alot and have 50 to 100 or more!
I know guys that have more than me that i'm quite confident I could fish circles around given the same set of fishing techniques used, and some guys that have less than me that could fish circles around me given the same set of rules...
how many you have or don't have doesnt mean that much in the grand scheme of things...food for thought.
if you want to know how many people have..if they are in muskies inc and register their fish go look up those records...

I partially agree with Brad. I dont think the number of fish a person has tells us who is the best musky fisherman. I also think if you need to boost your ego by comparing your numbers of fish to other people thats pretty sad. But if you are just truly wondering how peoples years are going, then maybe just ask that. I have 7 so far. Moved many other fish. Had a stretch where I got a bit down since I wasnt catching, but now I have gotten into a few more since being back at school.

A more interesting question to consider is...what is the ROI? (return on investment) How many hours between boated fish/raised fish etc. My fishing hours are way down this year and the #of fish boated are down but the time in between fish is relatively the same and that's a more useful benchmark in my opinion.

I have ony had 3 to show for my efforts started out with a 40" then 26" then a 12". Yup thats right a 12" and man did she fight! I even picked her up on a 9" Phantom. However I did manage to get a 42" Northern. So not too bad I guess. Here's a pic of the 12"er: Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Kills me to admit this:
I had 15 Legals this time last year.
After the Knee surgery, and then suffering the pinched nerve (in my defense), I have yet to boat a legal this year. This, however will change, this weekend, when Muskymaj and I fish the joint outing of the C&R, The Figure 8 and the Winnebagoland Musky club Tourney. WE ARE IN IT TO WIN IT! Team nightmare ROX!

starting a new job and getting married cuts fishing time!!!



18 hrs on Mille Lacs = a 44.75"
60-65 hrs in Iowa = 11 34"-43"

This weekend "north" for two days and then I'm probably done for the year - its time to add another whitetail wallhanger (got one spotted)

This time last year 6 fish personally, 11 in the boat. 80 -90 hrs on the water
BUT
This year 0 personally, 2 in the boat. Same number of hours on the water. I can see them but can't make the connection.

I am not a guide. Just a "fish-when-I-can" after work and weekend warrior.

I've caught 15 Muskies so far this year. The largest was a 45 incher, but I almost had a low 50er. I've also caught my usual dozen large Northern Pike from 36 to 41 inches. Not to bad for about 80 hours of fishing.

I didn't get out much early in the year, but have been getting out more lately and its been over a month since I've been on the water without hooking at least one Muskie. I've also fished on several different lakes in the last month, one I hadn't fished for years, and have had consistent success.

The funny thing is that the only lures I can get a Muskie to hit on are my CJs spinner baits. Without my 25 of those baits in various sizes and colors, I'd be getting blanked every time out instead. Its not like I don't throw anything else. I just can't get a Muskie to hit anything else. Just have to go with what works, eh?

I hope to match my total of 23 Muskies from two years ago (best year being married with children), but doubt I'll get out enough to match my best year of 36 Muskies (back when I was single). Actually, I would be quite happy with just one more Muskie if it was over 50 inches.

Good luck all. The best fishing is now until ice-up.

Unless they share, I only guide people to their beer coolers and away from mine.

4 skis since September 1st. 12 additional fish boated while out with Koepp in 4 half-day outings in August and September.
