2008 muskie and walleye pics

Ok, so how do I come out ahead in this situation? Now any pictures I DO post are fish my wife caught and LET me hold for the camera.

HMMMMMMM. That doesn't sound good!

I honestly didn't get very many picture worthy fish last year. What do you want to see? The 44" from September? A 39" northern from the summer? A couple in the 40-43 inch range? That's about all I can offer from 2008.

Hopefully I can keep the bigger ones from falling off this summer. There were 3 that broke me heart while casting in '08. Including one biggie in particular that I can still replay in my mind that was up to the boat just out of net range twice, but was snout hooked and barrel rolled it's way out of the single hook that was in it from the 7/0 treble.

Here is the original of the 48.25" from last October and a release photo of it as well.

Sheeeeeesh...you have to remember I spend most of my time pumping gas, mowing lawn and launching boats with the John Deere, eh!

Bazil,

I've promised/threatened to take him up in to Whitefish Bay to hook in to some Lakers. Now he'll never have any $ in his pocket.

On the topic of fish pictures, we may need to require a note from hi wife that the fish is really his and not one she caught and lets him hold for the photo. She looks trustworthy.

HA! Multi-species huh? Yeah, I guess I could claim that. I caught an eel pout, sucker and sturgeon all in the same day! I don't think anyone wants to see a picture of my personal best 29" sturgeon though, Baz. Too bad we didn't lose the biggies we had on, eh? Curtis showed us who the man is/was those two days.

Maybe next time they will have Macademia nut cookies at Holiday so our whole routine isn't thrown off course from the get go. We just can't get motivated without the reward of a cookie after the first fish in the boat of the target species. Hard to believe they were cleaned out of them 2 days in a row. Darn renovations!!

You leaving your coffee on the counter at Holiday and then leaving it in the truck the next day was even more damaging to your mojo though. Pretty funny stuff!
