    Missouri River pike…(Niobrara Nebraska) didn’t measure…took a dead-sticked Zoom fluke…think 40 inches?

    38.5″

    Hard to tell with the perspective going on in the picture, tail positioned down and away from the camera. What’s impressive is the lighting and how clean of a fish it appears to be. Beautiful fish.

    Had to be fun if it was incidental and on light tackle.

    bass fishing…medium action 6.5 foot rod…10# flouro…

    was kind of exciting there for a bit…for reference, my hands are 4 inches wide across the fingertips…when held together…my length is only an estimate…what I thought was amazing (it’s not a trick of photo angle) is the huge head this fish had relative to it’s body…

    Here are a few more from June, all came on walleye colored baits. Dunwrights and Believer’s over deep water working big pods of bait fish.

    I have finally got the solo net and photo operation down to a science. The front and back butt seats work great for setting up the camera. A ten second delay, and I get photos of any fish I want. I spent about ten minutes in the boat messing around with where I need to stand when I set the camera up for a timed shot. It did not take long, a few photos and I knew exactly where I needed to be. The other thing I have found to be very useful this year, is having the net ready, I normally pull out the handle and set the net over the passanger windshield, having the net handle extended over the back casting platform. I have found that when I am alone, I net all my fish from the back of the boat. Having the net extended twards the back of the boat makes things much easier when alone. Moving forward into the next few days, we have a full moon on its way, and my family on the way to the cabin, with hopes of two firsts for my kids, my daughter is more then ready, she asked tonight, when we were going muskie fishing….I love this

    Here are a couple not so good pics of a 37″ that was having a hard time on the resuscitation, so the only pictures were in the cradle. This fish fell victim to twin tens, the Bucher Tinseltail.

    Well, this was my first ever weekend muskie fishing… went into the deal blind with a few tips and some suggested lakes to try. boated two fish… the one pictured and one dink. Had two others on and a few follows. Crappy weather but high spirits knowing what lurked in the waters below!

    What variety of muskie is this?

    We picked up this 38 incher while we were trolling for suspended walleyes out in the open open basin of Mille Lacs. “Little G” got to reel it in. It was caught on a Deep Storm Thunderstick trolled 24 feet down in 32 feet of water. It was also had a DNR tag in it but we were unable to get the number off of it because the tag was boken in half.

    Check out this site.

    web page

    I’m not convinced this is a Tiger. I think it looks more like the Barred Phase muskie picture (notice the pointed tail fins). I think Jeremy L. has posted some pictures of Tigers he caught in the metro area in the past.

    Thanks Bob. Here’s one from earlier this year. Came on a nightcrawler of all things. Of course it’s an accidental fish as I had no leader and only running 10# test. Not to bad of revival. Used the current to the fish’s advantage.

    Awesome fish Dan. That’s got to be pretty cool catching them from shore.
