Location: Verona, WI | I got out for about 6 hours Saturday fishing from shore. Holy smokes was it cold - rod guides froze up and ice all over the reel. It's amazing how cold your feet get when you are wading in a river in mid-November. I ended up with a 38" musky to show for it which wasn't too bad.
I also had a fun experience during the day - I had the river all to myself when out of the corner of my eye I see something moving around in the water. There is a group of four otters playing in the river not far from me. They hung around for a while and then just took off.

Location: Appleton | I got this little 35x20 on a sucker this weekend. I actually didn't girth the fish just making light of all the girthing comments lately. Sure seems to be eating well. Also seemed to have a scar on the back.

Location: Ogden, Ut | I had a chance to take the boys out this afternoon for a bit of trolling on Pineview. We had a great day (in my opinion anyway; the 6 and 4 year-olds thought it was a bit slow) with a nice fish hitting Nik's rod about 2 1/2 hours into the trip. We were doing some open water trolling and this fish hit a Baby Depth Raider running about 10' over 36'. It was a good battle, but the poor fish didn't stand much of a chance against a determined 6-year old!
Hopefully, Dane will get his chance tomorrow. I love netting fish for those guys!

Location: Green Bay, WI | Sorno,
You should have been there...two drags screaming, two reels smoking, two rods cracking, water flying everywhere. It was incredible...two snagged carp within 30 seconds of one another. Who'dathunkit? Mine was snagged on the troll and Mike snagged his retrieving the other rod!
PP's fish was bigger than his first 50" fish two weeks ago...50 inches plus, 24 inch girth. We didn't belabor the point, as she was very squirmy and we didn't want to drop her. She was never perfectly straight, nor was the tail pinched--but she still went to the 50" mark. My guess is that she might have gone 51 inches, but it doesn't really matter--wait until you see her! Big fight though--lots of head shaking and power runs. Not at all like his first 50. She gave him quite the tussel...
