walleye_man Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) 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 chevy Edited August 27, 2010 by walleye_man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigeontroller Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) NICE first Muskie! If you are getting the shakes and need to talk "Muskie" and be around others with the same 'sickness' check out www.muskiescanada.ca http://www.muskiescanada.ca/chapters/ottawa.php Edited August 27, 2010 by Pigeontroller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregoire Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K_F Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCTFisher9120 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 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.
