Went muskie fishing today

[glen]

I went out for a little troll in the Kawarthas today. Beautiful day out but cool even with the sunshine. Saw a big rock just under the water with what looked like a prop blade laying there. So i am thinking at least i get to net some thing. I scoop it up and it is a piece of a skeg as big as your hand. So i mark that spot and keep trolling. Just when i am thinking its a nice day even if i dont get a muskie i hear the clicker on the penn 209 go off. I know i am in 16' of water so i dont think it is a snag. I grab the rod real quick. O ya baby good fish. Its pulling drag and head shaking. She cleared the water a few times with an awesome show and i thought she might throw the hook. After a good fight a very fat fish is in the net. Please insert picture of a large and mean muskie here. She released excellent to fight another day. Sorry about the lack of pics i was fishing alone.
