Thuderhead rework complete
I got the rework project on my Slammer Thunderhead completed, I don't think the blade is ever coming out of there. I drilled and pinned it in 3 places with short pieces of .051 musky bait wire and epoxied the tar out of it. A little sanding and repainting, and it runs great.
While my bride and I were at the World Musky Hunt August 28th timeframe, she started rifling through her baits. What did she pull out of there? A brand new, never used, Black Slammer Thunderhead. I never knew she had it, or I'd have acquired it (thoughtfully of course) a long time ago!
Fished the fall "Last Frontier" Musky tournament last weekend with some buddies from Eau Claire. What a bunch of duds we were. My buddy in the back of the boat got a 31" and a teeny 17 incher. The heart transplant recipient fishing in the center of the boat had quite a time since he had not been fishing in 3 years after all he went through getting that new ticker! Judging from the rash of harrassment he was giving me all weekend I truly believe there is nothing wrong with HIM no there surely is not!
I never saw a fish all weekend but at least it was cold wet and windy and my back was hurting most of the time.
And the chicks still dig my Verado.
