Saturday I took my own boat out for its first Muskie fishing trip. Went to Alum and trolled using the basic set up Rob taught me when he took me. I am happy to report we landed and released one very fat 24" very healthy fish. I was postive it was a snag on the first run and we didnt get all the lines cleared quick enough and when I finally turned its head it shot to the surface jumped and tangled in one of the other lines. When the fish was in the net it finally calmed down and I calmed down (a little). I untagled it removed the hooks and released it. From the chatter on the radio lots of nice fish were caught. Thanks to all the members your advice is much appreciated. Brian
