chemong lake pickeral

[skeeter]

july 19th my buddy Shane came up to my trailer on chemong to do a little fishing.

we went out at 7am and trolled for a couple of hours.

we were getting some little ones hitting the lures but nothing to brag about.

then i had a light hit, figuring it was a small bass i just gave the rod a jerk to set the hook.

then bam, the rod bends right over ,yank yank yank.

i said to Shane, i think i got a pickeral.

first comes the head shakes--oh ya its a pickeral!!!!

then the line starts ripping out of my reel---damn its not a pickeral, its a muskie i said.

a few more hard pulls then it starts to come in like a pickeral-- now were both confused

its staying down deep so we cant see it.

im waiting for it to see the boat, if it takes off running then we know its a muskie.

instead it comes up to the surface.

HOLY CRAP its a pickeral.

Shane quick get the net, as i said it i turned toward him and he already has it in hand.

poof-- in goes the net and up comes the pickeral all in one motion

what a way to break in the new net!!!! thanks shane..

its nice to know i have a couple of good fishing buddy's i can count on.

25" 5lb 3oz

if you look at the tail you can see why were confused.

somebody else wanted him for his own dinner- mr muskie.

( Tracker was still sleeping )

 

when you comming back up shane??

See you just needed a reason to leave your warm and comfy bed so early in the morning.So now you just got to figure out how to get Tracker out for those early morning pickeral hunts.
