Yesterday we were blessed with some nice weather here in the northeast, so I took the chance to take my daughter on her first muskie adventure. We have boated quite a few nice pike together, with the typical progression going something like; FISH ON!!!... Daddy, daddy, daddy... can I reel it in?!?!?!? I hand the rod over and try to keep her from getting pulled in (or losing my rod/reel)! However, she has never been tangled up with a muskie... until now.

We put in 3 or 4 hours, pounding my milk run with all of my confidence baits. Finally, when I switched up to a custom glider, I hooked up with this fat, angry 37 about 10 casts in!!! He gave her a good tussel and ran her around the front of the boat twice before she held him long enough to slide the net under. It was a pretty proud moment for dad when she immediately dropped the rod and started jumping up and down yelling "WE GOT A MUSKIE, WE GOT A MUSKIE, WE GOT A MUSKIE!!!!!!" Pap got the first call, and mom a close second... each time she told the story she was more excited!

I think this picture is going to make it to the office desk...

Congrats to you both. The boys have both broken the ice and boated skis but m daughter is only 19 months and I'm hoping she follows suit. She loves the pics so thats a start.

We need a "Hell Yeah I like" button on here

Congrats for hooking another youngster into the musky fishing world. The smile is priceless

My daughter is 13 now and she still loves to get out with the old man not as much as when she was 7-10 but we still get our time out.
