Title: 10 Year Old Daughters 1st Muskie
Post by: NormS on Apr 17, 2005, 09:31 PM
Trolling a #10 Husky Jerk with 8Lb test in Lake Hopatcong N.J my 10 year old daughter landed her first Muskie.
Ironically my son and I were trying for Muskies but my daughter wanted to catch Trout or Pickerel. Hmmm guess Ill use smaller baits for the spring. Fish measured 48" with a girth of 24.75" approx 35/36 lbs. Needless to say she was thrilled with her catch and she is also a proud memeber of Muskies Inc,Chapter 22.

That's the way it should be! It gets 'em hooked and keeps their interest.
That is one hell of a nice fish for a ten year old. 8 # test? Wow!

Thanks guys. She handled the fish like a pro didnt even panic when it almost spooled her. She was already a fishing fanatic before this fish and I was so proud of her when she told me to release it.

Thanks for all the congrats guys. She didnt even need to catch this fish to get hooked, a 4Lb Largemouth 2 seasons ago did it, but she has been waiting for her first Muskie. Her and my son get mad at me when I tell them its time to go home, even after 9 to 10 hours on the water.
Tight Lines and good fishing.
