| I didn't get to spend as much time on the water as years past because of a career change, but I did get a few nice fish in the boat. Set my PB 3 different times. The 2 fish below were both right at 49.75"!!! What are the chances?!?!?! Skinnier one came first and the fat one came late in November. Couldn't have been happier with them though. It means I still get to shoot for my first fiddy. Can't thank my 2 boat partners enough....THANKS Greg and Tony!!!!! Also got to fish with Shoot2Kill, unfortunately he is a Cyclown fan, but we had a good time anyway. And yes I know I am wearing a ridiculous hat....it was keeping my ears warm and I never thought about taking it off for the pix.

Posts: 280 Location: McFarland | I broke my PB three times this year in my young musky career and I've never fished anywhere but the Madison chain. No monsters but some nice Madison muskies.  Need to get to Canada next year and get that first 50".

Posts: 281 Location: ROckford IL | My 50.5 on the Big V was by far the most memorable experience for me this year, catching a 47.5 on Wingra on topwater was pretty cool too.

Posts: 4266 | Here's my highlights. Nothing beats time up in the north country with my daughter. She didn't get her first muskie like she wanted, but we had fun catching lunch and smallies every day. The August outing was another highlight. I can't wait for next year's outings. Spring Bay is our favorite place to be, and one of these trips we will probably catch a muskie.

| 47 on a topwater, and a 49 on a DCG (my best casting fish). Watching my mom, my friend, and a couple veterans catch fish were really fun! Here's the 47". I was not paying attention at the time, just looking for weeds to waypoint on the gps, good battle and took a few tries to net solo.

Posts: 1663 Location: Kodiak, AK | For me, the whole year has been a highlight. It's my second season on LSC, and I'm starting to put things together. Last year was a bloodbath....for me. No fish boated, only a handful contacted.....I was doing all the wrong things but learning the lake. This year, I know how the drifts work, what wind does to different parts of the lake, how the fish relate to the weeds, how to find "structure" in LSC, and most importantly how to fish LSC efficiently. Last year I was so unsuccessful because I wasted so much time doing the wrong thing and making mistakes. Still made a bunch of mistakes this year, but my learning curve here has dramatically improved. Picking up conventional gear to contact more fish and get some patterns down helped immensly as well. Still have 11 days left! Attachments ---------------- 48_gold_blades r.jpg (147KB - 106 downloads) rsz_146j_rc.jpg (204KB - 104 downloads) rsz_47g_dawg_c.jpg (215KB - 98 downloads) | ||

| I have been very blessed this last season with great customers and safety in all of our trips....along with some excellent fishing. Every year I look back at the photos....someones's first muskie or just a good trip...and it brings back all the memories. I LOVE watching other people feel the excitement of catching a muskie or any fish for that mattter! Their reactions and expressions are priceless. There were two things this season which "made" the season. One was catching my PB, a 48.25 X 22 inch muskie, close to the boat. Got the release on video. The other was during a full day of guiding in September - we had just finished going for northern pike in the morning part of the trip catching 40 in a couple hours. The action was unbelievable. One of the guys told me it was one of the best days of his life. It was very humbling.

Location: Contrarian Island | lots of good ones...put some 54s in the boat... (see above) my sept MN trip provided lots of good memories and crazy amount of fish in the net the most exhillerating moment was a 51.5" I got fishing solo to scream in and eat in the 8...saw her a lonnng way out and got her to eat right where she should....took me straight down to 30 fow head shaking...thought for sure she was gone...nope, drag did it's job, after a good tussle got her in the net and she popped the one hook off as she got in the net..not nearly the biggest but wow, was my heart racing for 20 minutes... others were my pb 53 and then a 50.5 all in about 15 casts one foggy night... Getting a buddy on his 4th 50 and the sheer excitement was a blast, also razzing him it was a "big pike" while he was fighting it.... sorry Scottie! lots of good times and memories from the season....bummer it's almost over...

| Watching JRedig's Mom catch her first musky was definitely a highlight of my year. She had put her time in on the water and finally caught her first musky! She was so excited and it was really cool that she caught it on top. The beautiful night turned out some awesome pictures. Congrats to her #1... now they come easy. | |||

| Caught my personel best breaking the 50" mark for the first time. My numbers were way down this year but that 50 more than made up for it. Tight lines.... Jerry (aka AFChief) Attachments ---------------- Leech_Lake_Musky.jpg (36KB - 102 downloads) | |||
