Got out for the first time this year and I feel like I'm off to a great start. Fished the Musky and the Pohat today and came up with these two 17 and 21 inches. The hits were soft and the fish seemed to be in undercuts. Thats a 9' 6" float rod with a 19" handle and a ultralite reel. Sorry for the poor pic, my phone is really old. I don't keep them all, but we haven't had any fresh fish in a while and they will make a fine meal.

About a 2" piece of night crawler.

Thanks guys. I have to say as Andy did about the fish at Penns Creek the fight was amazing out of the little one, the big one was kind of slugish, but the smaller one was tail walking. They both hit very soft.
