Fisherpete 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) After a very very very long wait, it was finally slime time... opening weekend... and there on the Saturday, I sat in class. Whaaaat? Yes class for my apprenticeship program. Sigh. For the long-term good I suppose. After a few setbacks on Sunday morning, the boys already out and into a bunch of fish, I decided to head out solo for the afternoon. Didn't see a single fish until some nasty weather approached... and as the old saying goes, muskies will eat before a storm! This fish inhaled an entire magnum bulldawg - do you think she was hungry? Getting good solo pics is not the easiest but these turned out pretty darn good. 47" is actually my best opening day fish ever. Gallie - thanks for the tip - this might have just been the fish you guys saw! Cheers Pete Edited June 7, 2016 by Fisherpete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
