fishing after work…so worth it

I went out fishing after work last night with my friend Tim as my copilot. We hit up a metro lake and were deep water trolling. While in 30 feet of water I was marking a lot of bait balls with some quite large arches showing up in feeding positions on the graph so I made sure I got our baits in the zone. A minute later, Tim’s rod bent quite rigorously (Medium heavy 7’ rod) in the holder. We knew something good was on. After quite a battle, we got her to the boat…..success in breaking Tim’s musky cherry. Only fish of the night, but worth it. The expression on his face was worth a million bucks. I told him it was because he donated a rod to the Fishing Gods last time we were out and was repaid handsomely. She was unhooked in the net and released back to the deeps in the proper manner. A memory that he will never forget.

Congrats. I agree on how rewarding it is to put someone on their first muskie.

Cool beans

How do you keep from falling out of that boat

Definitely rewarding. Almost as much fun as having it on the end of your own line.
