I went muskie fishing in the rain today with Dale and Jeremy, my first muskie trip of the year. I got a flag and lost a fish just before noon. The fish was on for a second but it didn't have the hook in it's mouth. Jeremy went home around 1 but Dale and I stuck it out. We started to lose hope as the day went on but at 3:40 the flag where I lost one earlier went up and I hooked into a heavy fish. After a good fight I got her on the ice, snapped some quick pics and sent her back down the hole. She taped out at 41", new PB ski! Caught her on a 14" live sucker in about 30' of water. When we got back to where we were sitting I checked some old pics because I thought I might have caught her last year. Sure enough it was the same fish that I caught last winter at 39". It's crazy that my PB muskie, tiger, and pike were all recaptures. Catch and release works!
