Muskieman Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 goes like this ........ My Aunt offered us her Cottage on Lk Nepewassi for Thanksgiving W/E I gladly accepted .. since my Sister owns the Cottage next to hers.. it was a Bonus! I showed up on Saturday and had a few beers.. I decided to head out for some Musky with my wife... 3rd cast with a 10" Bumblebee Believer I got buzzed by a 50'+.... figure 8.. backup rod w/8" BIG-O Twister... then to a 10" Spinnerbait .... and WHOOSH! Bugger buzzed me again... Never bit , I spent 30 minutes on her and never seen her again. ......... bla bla bla Sunday... I took Megan out she's my 8 yr old . I set her up with a 3/8Oz. Fireball/ Red Dace... first drift she says "Dad, J'en ai un" and sets the hook................. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.............. Low and behold ... an HUGE 50+" Ski breaks the surface ... I chase her down with the trolling motor ... and get within 10' and the line snaps... Megan wasn't impressed ... ....................... I returned for Walleye with Sue for a bit and on her first cast she says "Ostie, Je l'ai manquer" and then ZZZING!!... she didn'nt miss it , her P/B was swimming UP.... I grabbed the net and ... My Wife's PB Walleye 26.5" and 6.4Oz on a Rapala scale... After bringing Sue and her Walleye to camp .. I set out for an evenin' bite... I reeled in a few Rock Bass.. a couple of Tiny Smallies ..... 2 x 12-15" Walleye and a pretty nice one @ 25 3/4 " Best Thanksgiving EVER!!!!

Joey Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Great report Randy, and it doesn't even look like you hurt yourself at any point during the weekend Very impressive pickerel there and, of course, the musky that got away. Well, you know where she lives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosebunk Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Wicked Randy... note to self too, Lake Negnangnanenangnanmanamaamassinnninni (never remember this one) is the place to be at Thanksgiving for muskies and eyes. How'd the fish taste with the cranberry sauce and stuffing? lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
