New PB

[spincast]

Hooked up with a friend from the board yesterday in search of an elusive (for me, anyway)  We ended up connecting with four. I'll take that over work any day.

Ah, interesting story there.  This one wrapped herself up pretty well. We had brought the other line in and it was sitting on the surface. As we are trying to unhook this one, a smaller musky smashes the floating bait and starts wrapping itself in that line! So we put the big girl in the water to breathe while we undo the little one - which took a heck of a lot longer than we thought.Anyway, by the time the big girl was unbuttoned, she was pretty stressed, as you can tell from the colours. Not wanting to stress her any more, it was a quick snap, back in the water to recover and let loose. So I never did get a measure, not that it matters really. We figure mid forties. I figure I simply need to get a 50 for my next pb  My one and only prior fish was 34, so I am pretty confident we got that beat.....

Good on you to get it back in the water without further delay. I would agree with your assessment of mid 40's...she's a beaut. The best part is, when you get that upper 40's fish or even 50 to bump that one out of being pb. Those bigger girls are like a whole different beast...just bigger all around (usually!). You will know what I mean when you reach that milestone. Good luck and go get it! Lots of time left still this fall (I hope).

must be temporary blindness from all that chrome you've been slaying. 

 

I believe that Doc would have referred to it as Esox masquinongy. 

I think of it as Oh Yeah, Baby......
