M-N-G wrap up, BONUS TIGER SKI!!!

[FASTEDDIE29]

Hit the water with the NJF crew today. I'd like to thank all the fellaz that came out today, Saxmatt, Atilla, ChrisJC, Mike the lurker, Kcritch, Glenn and his crew, GetaNet, ScowardNJ, Mikey Topaz, Mike owner of JJ Bittings in Woodbridge, Jake and GERRY ZAGORSKI!!! I was kind of shocked when you walked on the ice Gerry! Thanx for coming out man, as always, the more the merrier. Good people, good times, good brews and some good food were had by all. Meatballs, pulled Venison sammiches, chili dogs filled my belly and kept me nice, warm and energized all day. Thanx for bringing the grub fellaz, It was delicious! Jigging was a little slow today in an area that is usually very productive. A few of the fellaz managed to get some nice Perch and Pickerel in the shallow weed bed on the jig. Overall the fishing was slow all around but you have to take into consideration that half the baits being used were 7 inches and bigger, LOL! I got a flag right around 820 am while I was out checking my baits and depths. Walked up to the tip up and the line was screaming, I said to myself, "Wow, this must be a giant Pickerel or LM. I picked up the line felt the weight and "BOOM" set that hook like a champ. Felt the weight as the fish took a couple runs and started thinking Musky. Sure enough the toothy critter came to the hole and up onto the ice she landed. My first musky through the ice in a very, very long time. It felt great and I was pumped up for the rest of the day. Tiger taped out at 36 inches on the nose. Thanx to the guys that came to aid me in landing this fish. I had a very hard time turning this fishes head to strategically fit it through my 7 inch hole. If your out there hunting these monsters, I'd seriously suggest a 10 inch auger. Got a few more flags as the day went on but they were dink pickerel. All in all these things are all about getting out, meeting new people and having a good time. We're one big happy fishing family and I enjoy every minute on the ice with you MANIACS! Lets try to do this again at the end of the month possibly at Spruce. See you fellaz out there again real soon and thanx again for coming out.

TIGHT LINEZ!!! FLAGGG!!! YEA BUDDY!!!

Fasteddie I think that if I ever went fishing wi you, it will be non stop lurker town. LOL. Meaning your luck and mine.

[Gerry Zagorski]

Great seeing you all and great job setting this up Eddie. Weather was perfect for it.

Seemed like everyone we ran across on our walk over to Halsey Island said it was slow. A few Perch was all most managed.

[GetANet]

Yes it was quite a pleasure seeing Gerry and meeting Mike!
Was a blast as usual eatin and laughing all day with a tiny bit of fishing for me.
I was quite sore from the previous day and even though I dragged my sled out I really didn't plan on fishing today but thanks to Matt who was so persistent that I fished that when my back was turned he started dropping in Tip ups for me!!! I had a couple big boys on the hook looking for one of those Tiger Things LMAO!!
Thanks Buddy!!!!
Eddie always knows how to have a good time!!!!!
Pulled vension and meatballs were insane Boyz!!!!!
Thanks to the few that attended, was a little disappointed in the turn out but that's the way it goes.....WE had a great time!!!!!!
