mike rousseau Posted June 7, 2015 Report Posted June 7, 2015 well i decided to hook up the trailer and head north for zone 18 musky opener for the first time in a few years. the cold front conditions had me worried but we managed a few fish anyways. we boated a pike and 2 musky. one dink and one at 49" we also had another 6 follows throughout the day the big girl is my new PB in zone 18 waters... she came in hot in the first spot of the day... i saw her coming and went into a figure 8 and she continued to follow... on the second turn of the 8 i raised my bait nearly to the surface and she smoked it... first fish on a new rod... new reel... and new cowgirl... all performed great...
Rich Clemens Posted June 7, 2015 Report Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Sweet looking fish Mike.. Congrats. I have a new rod and reel too, so maybe that will be my ticket as well. LOL Edited June 7, 2015 by Rich Clemens
esoxansteel Posted June 7, 2015 Report Posted June 7, 2015 Nice musky Mike, thick and clean, for just completing spawning not too long ago, how long were the fillets on that one Just kiddin
mike rousseau Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Posted June 7, 2015 Thanks everyone It was a really cool catch for me because I don't cast much and I especially don't get many figure 8 opurtunities.... I think I can count on one hand my figure 8 captures... So for this big girl to cooperate and take boatside was special for me... Come to think of it this is now my casting PB... Lol Next up Ottawa River opener... Based on how sore I am today I gotta do more casting to get ready... Lol

You should try and cast more often Mike, specially in shallower weedy or rocky waters, and you'll be amazed at how many big fish you'll get on a figure 8
grizzlybri Posted June 7, 2015 Report Posted June 7, 2015 I want one and hopefully I'll be doing my own report next weekend
