2009 Tournament Winner

 

  For the 1st muskie tournament of 2009 my partner, Randy Murawski, and I had one heckuva a day.  We started out when I made my 4th cast of the day and landed a 41.25" muskie.  After getting the release forms signed and pictures taken we released the muskie.  Making four more casts I boated a twin sister to the one we had just released, another 41.25".  We then did not boat another fish until Randy caught one at 1240PM, a 32".  We also had 6 follows, I had a 42" muskie break me off and had a 45"-47" get off right at the boat.  There is nothing worse that watching a big muskie like that just spit the lure right out of its mouth.  There were two other muskies caught on Friday, why Randy and I had such a great day I do not know considering all the other good muskie fishermen/women out there that did not even see a muskie or catch one.
