Posts: 121 Location: Plymouth IA | It was from the old mans tackle fishing 3rd river from the old wooden bridge. Old man is gone, guess that makes me the old man now. I still have the lure, here is a picture. It had a hook on the end that has rusted away. Sorry about the piece of wire in the picture.

Posts: 61 Location: Morgantown, WV | I caught my first muskie recently on a baby cowgirl! This was probably my fourth time out fishing for muskie. I was fishing a local river early, casting with a storm flat stick. I saw a big fin protrude from some shallow water behind where I was fishing. I thought it might have been a carp, but I made a cast in that direction and got my first follow from a nice muskie. I tried to do a figure eight but in hind sight it was probably terrible. I'll need to practice that for sure. I made many more casts in the vicinity of the follow. Since my lure was getting fouled with weeds I switched lures--baby cow girl in black and nickel. I made many more casts and was about to move on. I said "One more cast." Casting farther than I wanted put me in a very shallow area. I thought I'd get snagged in the weeds so I started reeling as fast as I could as soon as the lure hit the water. About halfway back to the canoe, this fish blew my baby cowgirl up! When I set the hook, the fish immediately went air born! The fish seemed enormous! After a short but intense fight, I managed to net it myself without incident. Luckily there was another fisherman nearby who was able to take a photo for me before I released the fish. I'll never forget this experience--I'm definitely hooked on muskie fishing!

Posts: 456 Location: Kansas City BBQ Capitol of the world | The Summer of 75 on the Niagara River. The old man took a Pike Chub and put a bigger hook on the back, bent the lip on each side with pliers and said try this, it will give it a different action. It worked. Priceless!
