Actually caught my first and second muskie. First one was a 30" little guy, but only 45 minutes later, I caught this (Attached photo) 43" beauty.
In my excitement, I grabbed the wrong side of the gills to hold it, and the gill plate carved up my fingers pretty good. It didn't even notice I was bleeding until after I let the fish go......
My buddies all told me that I would be really excited when I caught my first big one. They were right, that was totally awesome!!
I can't wait to go back to our "secret lake"
Spent most of the spring casting with nothing, then BOOM! two fish in 45 minutes on a topwater, "Pacemaker" of all lures.......
