finnally caught my first musky

[walleye_man]

well today we spent a good 12 hours in the boat fishing for musky

and hoestly if i didnt get one today i was about to give up....

thank god today was the day

 

but fist lets start off with the story we started off and after a couple of casts i get backlash and the line gets stuck in the trolling motor so we head back over to mickeys take the prop off and get rid of all the line

 

45 minutes we were back on the water trowing bucktails, topwaters, jerkbaits you name it without a sniff

 

so we try a bunch of spots and about 10 hours into the trip im talking aabout how i have never had a hit on one of theses "secret lures" and just as i say that boom my rod bends RIGHT over

and the fight is on

 

what i brought in was this BEAST..... by my standards

 

 

 

 

 

he was 40 inches long and was REALLY thick

im still shakeing that was my biggest ever fish to date and gave one of the best fights ever

 

he wasnt out of the water for more that 45 seconds and swam away strong

 

im really happy about how everything went

and by the way

my new favorate fish are musky

 

hope you enjoyed

Congrats. The first is a huge rush. It is dangerous though. Once you catch musky fever it's hard to recover, but in my mind its not a fever you want to get over.

[Grimace]

Well done sir. You look pretty thrilled. Cheers to many more.

NICE work!

 

 

 

I still haven't landed one yet. It's coming though i can feel it

 

 

P.S.You should smile, we can't tell if you are excited or not.

[Guest Johnny Bass]

Nice Musky! Congrats on your PB! If I had a dollar for everytime a fish hit on cue?I'd be rich!

 

EX:I cant believe we haven't caught a musky yet...BAM!!Musky on! Gotta love it!

[asdve23rveavwa]

Congrats!! You "gotta" love those big, stinky, beasts!!!!!!!

[jbailey]

congrats man! your huge smile says it all! I love the KR3W hat too, lost mine a year ago..

[K_F]

be careful - its an addiction

and over 12 hours without a fish is a stretch you might have to do from time to time

 

congrats

[MCTFisher9120]

Awesome catch dude. Haven't caught a fish like that for 2 years or so now...Probably I know enough that the musky addiction is very expensive!!

 

Tightlines buddy, must of been fun.
