Year End Muskie Totals

We had a better year than I anticipated thanks to a great fall. We had an average season until early October and things turned around for us. Overall we had some good numbers with 105 total fish and some better quality fish including a 49" and 50". Here's the lures and totals:

105 total fish
30-35 inch-- 7%
35-40 inch-- 40%
40-45 inch-- 37%
45-50 inch-- 16%

Lures:
Sucker--25 fish
Pacemaker--18 fish
Cowgirl--13 fish
Ghosttail--9 fish
Flowage Boa--6 fish
Showgirl--5 fish
All others-- less than 5 fish

This is a little different from the last few years. After having such a great year with Vexers the year before, the bait didn't even make the list this time. Also, not seeing fish caught on Bulldawgs is a little strange. It's cool to see the Pacemaker as the top producer because who doesn't like topwater, right? Not much of a Ghosttail bite as it normally is either.

Thanks for the update Ty. Interesting as always. It is encouraging to see that 16% of the fish caught were over 45". Got to believe that size trend will continue to increase. see you at the show this year John
