Im only a teenager and boy do I have a fishing story for you!
This past week my family and I went up to a cottage resort on pigeon lake like we have been doing for the past couple of years. A friend of mine that was in another cottage and I started talking about fishing when he mentioned that he had never been out fishing on the lake in a boat before, only off of the docks. So, I invited him to go fishing with my dad that night and he accepted, so he went and he loved it! He caught a couple of good sized bass and couldn't wait to go with us again. So we took him fishing for the next couple of days and on one fateful morning the most amazing thing happened!
We had been fishing mostly weed cover and we caught a couple of fish, but nothing serious. So we decided to move to a shoal type area where lots of smallies and largies hang around, we had a couple of bites and 1 or 2 fish. A little while later we were fishing but not really getting a whole lot of bites, until my friend hooked a nice 2 pound smallie, it was fighting and splashing like a smallie should, until he felt a big tug and his drag starting going crazy, we didn't know what was happening. About 3 seconds later he got it near the boat when we saw something that scared the crap out of us! We didn't really see it's face but we did see it's roughly 35-40" side, and wouldn't you know it, it was a muskie holding on to the thrashing smallmouth and letting go when it saw the boat. I didn't even think this was possible! Sadly, when we brought up the smallmouth it was cut open and ready to die, so we threw it back and as it struggled to get below surface the muskie took him.......
So that's my once in a lifetime story of fishing, now what's yours?
