Whitemikeca Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Finally got out musky fishing for the first time this year last weekend. Caught this guy trolling on a 10 inch beleiver. He put up a great fight. He stayed deep, taking drag on my Calcutta 400 for a few mins. When he got to the boat I was greated with 3 nice jumps. A few minites later we caught a 34 incher on the same lure but didn't take pictures. Both fish were released of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitemikeca Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Thanks guys, I didn't measure him because I was concerned with getting him back in the water. I caught a 45 incher last year on Pigeon and looking at the pictures side by side this fish looks longer. I know where he lives now so I will measure him next time Rich, the believer is the only musky lure I troll with anymore. Last year I caught > 10 skis trolling believers on Pigeon. Most of them on the walleye colour believer. I have a really good pattern down now as to where to troll and how deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeontroller Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Real nice fish and kudos to you for being more concerned with a successful release than a measurement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said it, where, how deep... you know what your lure is doing in the water, combine that with knowing where they live, you cannot miss... well except on those days where you miss.... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
