Hank Jr Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Just got back from a week of Muskie hunting with my son . We fished Balsam 17 hrs only had 2 follows and one hit from Muskies we did boat a couple small Pike . Went to Pigeon on Tuesday only one in the boat and 1 follow . Once again Sturgeon Lake saved our week in 4 days we boated 11 and had follows , hits and lost hooked fish from 23 other Muskies biggest was only 43" but we saw or had hits from 7 or 8 over 40" fish saw one that was a high 40" fish . Saturday on Sturgeon we had a small Can-Am only 3 boats my son and I each fished with a Canadian and the other boat had 2 Canadians in it . Who ever is behind by lunch time pays for lunch . My son carried the USA team again this year he boated a 43" er and a 30" er before 1 pm the Canadians only had a 37" and a 31" so I want to thank Pete and Mikey for our lunch . By the end of the day the total was 6 Muskies boated another 15 follows , hits and lost fish a fun day but the USA gets bragging rights for yet another year with a total of 110" for the day . We had another Canadian friend come over for the day he is a Bass guy he boated 4 or 5 Smallies around 2 lbs and a couple Large Mouths but he also boated a 35" Muskie and had a 40" Muskie break off at the boat one on a rattle trap the other a small swim bait I'm glad he wasn't on team Canada LOL . I make the rules so next year I'll have a rule no Bass lures allowed in the Can-Am Muskie tournament . Now the sad part I have to wait a whole year to fish the Kawartha's again you guys are lucky to have such good fishing in Ontario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Man, fantastic fishing. I was told they are the fish of 1000 casts, not. Your son was a ringer for the Yanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Jr Posted October 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 I took my son fishing when he was around 4 years old I hope by now that he is 48 he learned something over the years LOL . He is a casting machine he can cast all day , poor Dad needs a break once in a while from casting those double 10's . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy97 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 That was a great tourney! Mike and I will carry Team Canada next year hopefully! Loved fishing Sturgeon, and it was a pleasure to finally meet the muskie legend Hank Jr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
