year started strong with my largest musky 47" and 2 others in a half hour and 7 fish total in january. 12 muskies by May when I lost what might have been my largest in Red's boat. I hooked it on an 8 after it followed Big G's lure, on Big G's birthday, on a trip Big G paid for (I was unemployeed at the time). If that fish didn't get away I'd have had some major bragging rights as well as some major pennance at confession.
I might have paid my pennance as I didnt have another fish on till Dec 16 when I got 2 (41+44) in a half hour on dec 16 with my winter pattern again.
