well i wanted to catch 3 fish i've never caught before this year, shad (got it done thanks to help from njfers), tiger muskie, and bowfin.
yesterday after work i took what i've learned about pure strain muskie over the past few years and put it to work on the tigers...first attempt, success! Not the biggest of specimens but a mission accomplished none the less. I was using one of the swimbaits i made specifically for such an occasion and also had a follow from a bigger one but did the worst figure 8 in the history of mankind followed by some rage monster, but oh well. also caught a bass with a gill hanging out but was doing just fine, sometimes they are troopers!
