1st Muskie of 2005
« on: Mar 08, 2005, 07:07 PM »
I'd retired my muskie rod to the car after no success this afternoon.  I decided to concentrate on walleye when this 36" muskie surprised me and hammered my grub.  It made my day!  First one of 2005...

Gotta love my deer-in-the-headlights stupid look, LOL!

It was pretty warm, although extremely windy!  It was a tough day I caught the largest carp of my life and this fish, which saved my day.

This is the pic of the carp, the snow in the background gives you a better temperature perspective.

Very nice fish, WTG.  8)
Fishing isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more important than that!

I live with FEAR everyday, and sometimes she lets me go fishing!

My Mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in December and I moved back to spend time with her and help out...
This was one of the few times I got out.

Hey Otter,

Is that from the Susquehanna River in NY.  Catch any Walleyes?

Thanks, unfortunately she is terminal.  I'm gonna try to stay up here, I just get in an outdoor groove here, both hunting and fishing.
