Way to go! I know the feeling....I got my first Ski a week and a half ago in Serpent Harbour in the North Channel of Lake Huron. 37 inches about 12 lbs. Gave my one piece 6footer St Croix and 2000 Spirex all it could handle! Not to mention my heart as it pounded my wally diver at the boat! I think I may be hooked....she's all I've been thinking of! Thank god for a full spool of power pro! The walleyes we boated were nice......but that Musky has been keeping me up at night!!!!?? Successful release so I'll be looking for her again soon...
