ehg Posted August 17, 2008 Report 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
Joey Posted August 17, 2008 Report Posted August 17, 2008 Wow, what a beast Very impressive. Persistence pays off big time. Way to go. Joey
sea nymph Posted August 17, 2008 Report Posted August 17, 2008 Well holy crap mike good work. Good thing you didn't take blair with you he would have lost it netting it. That's going to be tough to beat. Hey when we doing a bass tourny? So long as you can catch huge bass also. j/k.

1leggedangler Posted August 18, 2008 Report 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
