2009 Muskie & Pike Photos

I posted this on its own thread but wanted to put it here as well. 47″ long and taken on a bull dawg.

Nice Tiger! Either a natural reproduction fish or one that slipped through the cracks during stocking. That fish has quite the underbite.

Ok its been a crazy week of hucking i dont know how mutch more of these giant baits i can take. Monday was a good night with a 49”& 45” both on the MAMOUTH SUE 25” long 26oz. Tuesday brought a fat 45” to the Beckman. Then when i thought i couldent take it any more last night i stick a giant 48”. All 4 fish caught this week were caught on the BIGGEST bait Thorne bros sells.
Bob i’m letting you use the mamouth all day tomorrow

Son’of’a’Beeoch you’ve got to have arms like popeye after throwing that all day

WTG Tim nice fish man

I feel like a little girl when I fish with Tim . That bait is LARGE.

I got this 44.5 on a Dunwright. I made a few modifications to this bait and the fish seemed to like it

No Crap

I agree 100% Bob, If you feel like a little girl when fishing with Tim

Then that makes me not even worthy to be in the same boat

Little fish, big hunger

That little guy thought he had found a new life partner

New PB for Mike and I got to net her

Its not very often you get to see Rocky Balboa with a smile that big

Nice Fish man

Congrats on the PB

How Big was she?

Here are a few of our shots from Big V-

Here’s my buddy Tom with his new pb, caught from the same waters and trip as Mikes above. 53″. Too bad it didn’t have that typical Vermillion girth but we’re pretty sure she was an older fish.

Give that gal another week or two and I think you would be shocked at what that fish will look like. I remember about a year or two ago, there was a fish boated a couple of different times during the year, in Nov that fish was almost double the size in girth. That lake is amazing

Anyway you slice it, 53 inches of fish is one hell of a catch.

Tommy still got that smile on his face?

Nice Fish guys

Congrats on the PB

All Tom has to do is look at his scarred up hands and I’m sure he’ll be smiling Bob.
I’ve given less blood at the red cross in one sitting than he lost that morning

Awesome fish guys! Congrats

10/31 Iowa fattie

Nice color on that fish Shaley!

Those IGL fish are awesome!! Congrats.

Got this little guy last night ripping a 10” jake he smoked it about 10 feet from the boat. Saw 2 other fish both on the jake. Great night to be on the water.

That is a real nice lookin bait to bad it only produced a guppie for you its about time you catch the guppie syndrome i wouldnt think you would brag about such a fish but hey you probably bumped it too how long was it. You probably had to wave down DD to snap a photo for you well nice catch hope you dont think you get to keep that bait. Just bored at worked may your fall be blessed with fat sub 40 inch fish hahahahahahaha

Joe I would hate to see our friendship end just becaus you wouldent let me keep a crank bait.

Those colors are cool. Nice fatty

Tim, guessing that Jake is a little easier on the bones than that MS

Here are a couple I boated this season

A couple more…..

40 inch fatty-

I think this fish lost 2 pounds when I picked it up, all over my leg

Dang…that is one fat gator bro. Those big pike sure like your baits
Hope those were Kootys bibs you were wearing

Netted this for my partner today, he told his girlfriend at the start of the season he would marry her if he got 5 50 or better, this is #5 and I was on the phone to her before he got the hooks out of her. Weddings next May

Heck of a nice fish a fall fattie for sure
