FisherMike Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Hey everyone!!! i havent posted in a while. i just finished up another season on lac seul a few weeks ago. this year was our second annual fall musky trip which we do once our camp is closed for the season. BenBeattie, myself and a couple other guides from my lodge are trying to make this a yearly trip. big thanks to ben and his wife kelly for having us at their house. i fished 11 days last year for zero musky although everyone else on the trip managed one or two. this was my year. i finally caught my first two muskies and they were beauties. hopefully the pics work. the smaller fish, my first musky ever, is a 46 incher, and the big one is a 51 incher. it took me 18 long days of fishing to land my first musky, and it was well worth the wait. i caught the 51 the next day. thanks to my good buddy BenBeattie for seeing my frustration and not letting me leave till i caught a musky, or two. cant wait till next fall.
