Posts: 2323 Location: Stevens Point, WI | Well, unfortunately I was not part of this unbelievable catch by my buddy Spencer Berman, but here are the pics that I received, thought I would share. Caught it on a Pounder Bulldawg from Musky Innovations. How'd you fair this weekend?

Location: Lake Tomahawk, WI | Congrats Spence! Great fish, didn't need Lappen guiding you after all. Keep riding that horseshoe as long as you can. (I had the pleasure of filming Spence catch a 51.5 this summer) JS | ||

Posts: 32886 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | We had a ton of action but I had the dropsies, losing two upper middle 40" class fish that were pinned up, and missing another two good ones; one was a PIG. Slamr got a 40 on a spectacular boatside sucker strike. Had a few look at suckers, but I had all my action on Weagles and Wabulls. I have an appointment with one particular muskie out there this week.... Got in and went to the woods to help Keith with a deer. All in all a great weekend. | ||

Posts: 392 Location: KY | I fished Cave Run Lake. I am sure all the pros are going to be tight lipped with the big tourney next weekend. So here is a novice stick’s report. I fished all day Thursday / Friday, and Saturday morning early. The water was very clear on the main lake, 72 Thursday and dropped to 69 by Saturday. It is a foot or two below summer pool. Weeds are still in pretty good shape on the flats but starting to brown up in Scott’s creek. Most of my time was spent in those areas. I moved fish all three days, all on weeds. For the most part action came early and late in the day. Thursday morning I had a follow from a broad shouldered mid forties beauty and finished the day with a 39 in the net with several more follows in between. I picked up a 25 shorty Friday morning and lost a high thirty right next to the boat that evening. Again there were others that followed. Saturday was similar with a low thirties that followed for a couple eights and another shorty that snapped and missed in the first turn. Tight lines everyone. | ||

Posts: 16632 Location: The desert | A great weekend here in Point! My dad came up and we fished for a while on Saturday with no luck, but was still fun to get out with him. The evenings were also a lot of fun, my dad might have been the oldest guy downtown, but no one seemed to care. Great weekend! | ||

Posts: 2112 Location: The Sportsman, home, or out on the water | Spence, Nice Piggy! Pointer, anytime spent with dad is always good. weekend report from the shop: Slow Saturday, Slower during the Packer game on Sunday. K-bob and Lolleitta and I are fishing tuesday while you are all at work/ class. The sweetest justice in the world is catching fish when the rest of the free world is at work.

Posts: 127 Location: Brookfield | I decided to give the Muskies a break and go Atv riding in northern Wi. After 250 miles in 2 1/2 days I learned something very important. I'm not 20 anymore, work is going to hurt tomorrow morning. Nut | ||

Posts: 929 Location: Rhinelander. | Had a nice day on 3 lakes chain, a mid thirties and one a little bigger. Kicker is I lost a pig at boatside. He hit sucker once and had him and lost him. He came back hit it again and I stuck him as I saw him take the 12 inch sucker down in a gulpI was shocked at this. I se the hook and fought for some time. When I got him to the boat to net my line went limp and he left mw with a tag end of my leader. I can't believe he bit through a wire sucker rig. One of the fish broke a junx for me and I can now say I caught one on a suick. After 40 some years fishing a new first. Pfeiff Edited by Don Pfeiffer 10/16/2007 9:35 PM | ||

Posts: 1058 Location: Medford, WI | Got out for the weekend again finally! Saturday we fished hard all day with nothing but one dink of a northern on artificials, but we hooked up with two very nice muskies on suckers dragged right behind the boat; we got to see both the fish take the sucker which is always a rush. My buddy set the hooks on one, which was mid-40's, and turned it but no hooks in the musky. The one that I took my friend said was a little bigger...set the hooks, "got 'em!", fought for about five seconds and off! Two blown opportunities for Saturday. Sunday morning I told him we were going right back to the same lake and we'd catch something. Get there and I tell him that we'll catch one within half an hour on the surface. Five casts later and I hook up with one on the jackpot. A fat, fat 43"er. Hour and a half later, I cast a little weedpoint that I swore would be holding a fish...nothing, so I cast the pocket just beyond it and halfway back to the boat I see a fin behind my bait and watch my bait disappear. A few headshakes and runs later and I have a 40"er in the net. (Again on the custom-colored Jackpot) I told my buddy to give me his rod, he was confused, and I put my Jackpot on his rod. Hour and a half later he's talking about how cool it would be to see a big wave behind his bait and I say "Well, usually you'll see the dors..." and I feel the boat rock and see him handing it to a fish. After almost falling in twice, he got the fish to the boat and I was glad to net his first musky for him, a 42.5"er. Congrats Curt! I love seeing people catch their first musky and watching them shake afterwards. Got my brother his first three weekends ago, a 45"er and he'll be hooked soon enough. Let's see some of the pigs you guys caught this weekend, any patterns? I had nothing, fish scattered all over, almost seemed like there was some type of transition going on. Water temps from 49 this morning to 55 yesterday afternoon. Should be getting out early this week with someone new around here (Eau Claire area)...will report if anything is caught. -Jake Bucki Attachments ---------------- Fall 43.jpg (48KB - 215 downloads) Fall 40.jpg (58KB - 205 downloads) Fall 42.5.jpg (88KB - 227 downloads) | ||

Posts: 1764 Location: Ogden, Ut | Hmmm, my son Dane and I hit the water for a while on Friday; we ended up with 2 carp, about a 4-foot chunk of rope and a small rock We had a lot of fun though. Took the family up yesterday for a couple of hours of perch fishing. It's tough for me to fish perch this time of the year on a perfectly good muskie lake... | ||

Posts: 203 Location: Germantown, WI | I boated a 39" on Sunday morning out on Pewaukee. It came in hot on a black/orange bucktail. I kept up the figure 8 for a couple of minutes then she hit a boatside sucker. I also had two other sucker strikes. One just came up and grabbed my trailing sucker by the tail (but never set off the clicker). The other fish grabbed a boatside sucker but dropped it when I picked up the rod. I jigged the sucker in its face and it seemed interested because it chased the sucker around a bit, but it never made up its mind to eat. I also muffed a strike on the bucktail because my drag was set too light. I'm not entirely sure that was a musky. Was also out on Pewaukee on Sunday 10/7. I had one follow on a Slippery Slider and had one fish bite the tail of a sucker (but never set off the clicker). Tom | ||

Posts: 42 Location: Highland, IN | Being a part timer compared to most of you guys i had a blast catching a nice 34" on my first cast yesterday morning then my buddy had a follow 2 casts later. Thought this was a great start for the day, little did we know that was all we were gonna see for the rest of it. P.S. i mentioned being a part timer only because i dont get out as much as you or even as much as i'd like to. If i'm lucky it's only once or twice a yr. | ||

Location: Lake Tomahawk, WI | Nice fish Andy! Got out on Saturday for a little while in the afternoon and put one in the boat around 40". Had a fish crack a 2 pounder but didn't get hooks in her. Noticed certain weed patches dying off while others are flourishing. Another thing, LOTS of muskie folks on the water, more that we've ever seen for this time of year. The tourists are finally figuring out what a great time of year for vacationing in the Northwoods (unfortunately ). JS | ||

Posts: 80 Location: Waukesha, WI | Caught this 41" Tiger, Sunday mourning on a Sucker. My first sucker fish and had the fish hit twice. Almost had her in the net the first time and she let go, so I Straigtened the sucker and dropped it back in and 15 sec later, she grabbed the sucker again, I waited and stuck her good into the net she went.

Posts: 880 Location: New Berlin,Wisconsin,53151 | Sanks and I pre-fished the IMTT on Okauchee on Friday afternoon. We were getting an idea of what the cold front had done to the fish, were they move to and what they were chasing. After moving 6 good size girls, one that charged the bait to the boat and equalled my personnel best, we had high hopes of doing well in Saturday's tournment. Thats about as far as is went, because we skunked on Saturday with the 3rd place fish being caught 100ft from our boat. 38 boats entered and 3 fish were caught. The winning fish 39 1/2" (which) would of been a snack to the fish I saw on Friday. No sour grapes here just arthritic hands. Next time........ Bruce Edited by Netman 10/16/2007 8:36 AM | ||

Posts: 20219 Location: oswego, il | Muskyboy, it is raining out and your still sunburned! Vince, no way that is indiana. There is not a stretch of shoreline that long on any lake in that state without a house on it! We boated 5 and lost 4 more, unfortunately 3 of those 4 were over 40" long. Still got John's new Tuffy slimed up. I have lost over a dozen fish this year over 42"!
