GetANet because I got a Musky!!!
 

Been talking about it with Jigman for a few weeks now and decided today was the day. Spent the better part of yesterday morning fishin for bait as well as sending my partner in crime out to see what he could come up with also. We managed to wrangle up about ten nice sized suckers and planned on meeting at my house for a 5:30am departure! Jigman over slept so when didn't hit the water till about eightish. Rigged those suckers up and dropped them overboard with extremely high hopes of catching a musky even though we never even tried fishing for them before. Finally found some decent marks about four hours in and all of a sudden one of the reels starts to sing a little tune! The sucker was doing the freak and all of the sudden the lines starts slowly pulling off. I grab the rod not quite sure what to do and feed him a bit more before I wind down and feel the tug!!! I buried the hook in the roof of his mouth so hard Pete Mania woulda been proud!!! The fish made a few slow pulling runs in the 36 Degree water before we even saw it. I carefully play him out and get him to the boat where we finally get an eye on it. It's My First Musky!!!! Jigman swooped him up into the net and the hootin and hollerin began as well as my convulsive shaking from the freezing temps and that green mean machine!!!! Quickly We dispatched the fish with the billy club and then took some pics.
Ah got ya!!!
Like a surgeon Jigman removes the hook and we took two quick pics and a measurement before releasing it back into the water with
it's tail smacking the water and giving me a quick bath.
Whats so hard about catching Musky?
We Went Out AND We Got One " Cause that's WHAT WE DO BEST!"
