metro muskie tourney report back

fished the metro tourney yesterday on WBL. no fish for my boat other than a bass and pike but some others did well trolling out there. saw some A hole trolling 2 rods by himself all day…hope the sheriff busted him! CONGRATS TO KROGER3 for hookin up with a nice 44.5″ fish on a bucktail and taking 8th place. way 2 go man keep up the good work! winner was a young man fishing independance got a 50.5 and a 40.5. 30 something fish boated total with 500 contestants over 16 premiere metro lakes….minus tonka haha no pics guys but maybe KROGER3 can post his fish…?? keep huckin and c u all on the water!

fish were caught on everything from bucktails and phantoms to bulldogs and topwater baits. depths of 15ft. or less except for the trolling bite…

I had to work yesterday morning but my buddy fished Bald Eagle. Saw 5 but no takers.

Here ya go. Fish blew up on my bait about 6′ from the boat, had about a 8 second fight. Just put my thumb on the spool, leaned back and my extreme net man did the rest. somehow he ended up on his back in the floor of the boat and soaking wet but it was in the frabil!

That’s a good feelin’ holding that fish eh? I can’t wait until I have the chance to get back out and chase some of these pigs! Congrats on the catch and 8th place!

Very nice fish! Sounds like fish were caught on every different type of presentation out there, totally typical of early season muskie fishing…I am hoping to be able to fish the George Wahl tournament this fall.

Congrats Kroger! We fished the St. Croix, had one decent fish up to the boat about ten casts into the day…A little snafu forced us to leave the river.
Tried to hit Bald Eagle after, total cluster@%!@@! at the access. Trailers,cars, boats everywhere and looked like tons of parking tickets being issued. Ended up on Johanna for the last few hours in search of a quick Tiger with no success. Guys leaving the access in front of us did catch a 43″ Tiger though…had to have been the $500.00 fish. Congrats to them as well!
