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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rizzo 32 Report post Posted June 8, 2016 I hope some of those pike made it to your dinner plate! That's a beauty way to start the season Pete. We had a good day out too (4 for 6) but I would trade them all for that one! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
