cityfisher Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) Hey all, Rented a cottage up in the haliburton area for the weekend with my GF. Planning on quadding saturday and fishing sunday. Quadding was fun but I was itching to fish since its really been a while since I fished hard on a more remote lake ( compared to simcoe every weekend ). Nailed 5-6 pike ( 2-5lbs ) throughout the day and my GF landed a nice 2-3 lb bass !! Shes a Keeper ! Then while working my Yum Dinger I get a hit and BANG set it hard.... I feel dead weight but then it starts to move and all of a sudden this beast rockets to the surface and jumps a couple feet into the air right beside the boat... Gave me and my GF a Heart attack ! Now im freaking since I got 8lb test mono and a size 4 circle hook in this guys Jaws ! after what feels like forever I go for the jaws and lift the monster out ( no net of course !! ) WOW ! 47 inches !!!! After a couple pics ... I revived the musky until she gave me a splash in the face well worth it ! Rest of my trip was a blur .. Now i need a 50 ++ Edited July 10, 2007 by cityfisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year the same thing happened to me while fishing for bass with senko style baits. Maybe this is a new bait for Musky(if only it came in a 10 inch version ??????)

When i went for the Jaw bone on the muskie I got a couple scratches and a nice cut on the other hand. Well worth it !! Yum dingers !!! a couple pike and the musky on it. No bass touched it !!
