Dave that is great, like you said what a great way to start your spring, that is interesting that most were caught on a rattle trap. I could image the big smile you had on your face and did you have a cigar after catching the 3 muskie, congradulations!
I have not fished for Muskie before, but this summer I may just have to have Steve take me out to try and see if I even would get a follow from a Muskie.
I know it is a lot of work and you may not even see one, but when I see people like you and how excited you are when you come in after catching a big muskie, it really makes one want to try and catch one also. Of course there is a lot of learning from how to work your bait, on the proper way to hold your muskie, to taking pictures and of course the proper release. I think that if I were to catch a muskie, I would just do the picture of it in the water and let it go and not bring it into the boat, I am a bit afraid of such a big fish.
Again Congradulations Dave.
Always,
Gail
