ehg Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Excellent fish! Very few musky get larger than that. All the questions you asked and efforts you put in sure paid off. FWIW, the Joe Bucher moon charts had that day as a peak day. Great, great fish, ehg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1leggedangler Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 HOLY CRAP!!! She must have hit like a ton of of bricks. Thanks for the play by play report and major kudo's to you and your Dad for taking the time(over an hour) to ensure she swam away. You sir are credit to the sport. I really hope you get a mount of her so you can re-live that over and over again!! What a beaut!!!! Cheers, 1leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
