good. First muskie of the new season for me. Mason netted this fish, his first
ever try at netting, but he had a good instructor.
very good fighter also. Both muskies are alive and ready to fight again, thanks
to catch and release. These photos were taken by J.T. Payne of Lebanon who
was fishing close by when both these muskies were caught. Mason also netted
this one for me....getting good at the net and getting stuff to release the muskies.
mine. This one was caught 15 minutes after I released the 34" above. This is
also J.T.'s first muskie ever. Mason likes his picture taken.
days later.....it never showed up in the camera and the fish was a 42" "Big" muskie,
it was one of those very stocky and weighty fish. I would have estimated it at
around 23#. The above fish is a 36" caught on 4-15-09.
quite the fighter. I didn't like doing it but I had to put it on the floor of the boat to
get the hooks out. Normally I do that while in the net in the water but this muskie
just would not quiet down, so I had to take him/her out of its element an quiet it down.
before bad thunderstorms chased us off of the lake early on the 10th of June.
thunderstorms made us get off of the lake. We really had some bad storms,
there were tornado warnings all over the area, thankfully none were on the ground.
through a nice cool spell that lowered the water temperature enough to let
us fish for these toothy critters.
excellent battle, Dave didn't do bad on his end either. Pete Robinson who
was fishing nearby observed the battle this fish put on.
Luckily for Joe this fish was a little shorter and Dave had to buy dinner
that night for having the longer muskie. Pete Robinson who was fishing nearby
saw the battle that this fish put on also.....
was fishing nearby saw the battle that this fish put on.....
muskie fishing equipment. Nice Catch Alisha.....Pete Robinson did not see this
one and the excellent job Alisha did of getting the fish to the net....What happened
Pete?
the muskies this size are very active this year and it makes for some good fun.
averaging between 38-42 inches this year on Pomme de Terre. Like it reads
on the muskie below we had 2 fish in the boat and 7 other muskie encounters.
an excellent fight. We had 2 fish in the boat that day and 7 other muskie encounters.
because that is what I was targeting. I am not complaining about the 42". I
was fishing up north at Lac Seul in Ontario on 10-14-09, it snowed on us every
day, but thankfully it was not much more than a dusting, chilly though. This was
a very heavy fish. Truth be known, I think muskie fishing at Pomme is just as good.
