| As the years quickly tick by our son is gaining interest in other activities rather than my number one outdoor focus, musky fishing. School and outside school sports, other game fish, hanging more with kids his own age, shooting his bow, tracking down and shooting chippys, new found love of slingshot zinging rocks and can't believe it girls. My son would pick a girl over fishing musky with the old man..... Austin caught his first musky when he was six years old, a few weeks shy of turning seven. Great moment I won't ever forget. Through out the years he has caught about a dozen and a half more with the majority me hooking the fish and then handing him the rod. He has always enjoyed panfishing and still does but now has a focus with bhinder fishing. Nothing wrong with that, just not my thing, but we fish for them because he wants to. I think he likes it because of more consistant action. Well anyway, this weekend he says, "dad I don't think I caught a musky yet this year, can we go get one?" Big smile on my face "h$ll yeah". Little background, since his first, he hasn't missed a year without landing one and he had none for the year so far. Long story short we pounded water most of the day Saturday in the rain and he finally hooked his own at last light. It got pretty cold but he didn't want to leave, had all his clothes on along with his rain jacket over them; then put my sweatshirt on over all of it to hack out the last hour of the day. By far not his biggest, but this fish meant a lot to both of us. He was jacked.....so jacked he jumped in the boat with a buddy of mine and I all day today (Sunday) just to try again for another.....wasn't in the cards for him today. But he had fun watching Mark catch a few real nice pike and my son got to unhook and release the "monster pike" as he put it. Good times......good times.   I missed the release shot as the fish squirted away before we could get it.......his expression was great.  Edited by Hodag Hunter 9/26/2011 11:29 AM | |||

Posts: 300 Location: Minocqua, WI | Fished six different lakes and one river from Friday through last night. My friend is a rookie so I did a lot of teaching and in turn we were both seeking action. Saw 17 fish with a handful over 40" that were just lookers and not hookers. Caught 6 (him with 4, me with 2), and I lost 3. One lake produced well (smaller 200 acres) and had active fish while the others were duds. Temps 54 to 58 degrees all over. Turnover already happening on these smaller places we fished. Couldn't have asked for better weather though. Dark, overcast, windy, with some rain on the side. I like. 40", 38", 36", 35, and 2 dinks. All caught on Bulldawgs, Curly Sues & Suzy Suckers. Tried suckers all four days and had no action on them except for one feisty river fish that decided to play with it instead of eat it. Don't know how much sucker fishing I'll do this fall with the price I paid for four of them. $25 for 4. I wish I can catch my own from some of the local streams. TJ gave me some grief for this over Facebook haha. I'll be fishing for 8 straight days beginning on Saturday. Trophy time!
