Got em on the figure 8

[Gatto1227]

Hit the lake again for some evening musky fishing and some night time bassin. Got on the water around 7:45 ish and once again it didnt take long for some big time action. I was throwing my blue fox musky buck and upon retrieval i saw the big ol' shadow behind my lure so i put my rod tip down in the water and started the figure 8, pulling my spinner around the front of the boat. He didnt hesitate, he came right under the boat and hit it on the other side about a foot away. Fought for a few minutes and got him in. Not as big as the last one but still a hefty fish measuring in at 40" on the dot. By the time all the commotion from this fish was over it was almost dark so we started bass fishing which didnt disappoint either. Landing near 20 bass and missing a bunch more. everyone had fish in the boat so thats a good night. Oh ya and mixed in there somewhere i landed a solid 23" pickerel which we didnt even know were in there. A nice little bonus. Sorry some of the pics are blurry but you get the point.[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

Nice Fish bro

Nice fish man. Nothing is more exciting than getting the big girls to eat on the figure 8. Just be careful fishing for the muskie now. The water temp is getting too high for these fish to be released safely. You've got to be very careful, but again nice fish

The front of my boat is one of the best fishing spots in the state. The back however, is not so good lol. Nice pickerel pal.

Yeah I've seen your posts before about you catching musky and can tell you handle the fish well. Its good to see people are becoming educated on these fish and taking care of them the right way. It really gets your blood pumping though when you see that shadow and dip the rod tip and it just loads up. Nothing beats a muskie in the 8!
