A couple lake Wisconsin toothy critters

Was out yesterday with Kevin Sime (Whiskerkev) fishing walleyes on Lake Wisconsin. We were pulling shad raps and flicker shads on planer boards and managed to land a couple nice bonus fish. The first was a 37″ pike that was as thick and fat as any pike I have seen to this day. It was more than my walleye scale could take, so I don’t know the weight, but I believe it was easily 20 pounds. Second bonus fish was a 48″ musky that presented quite a battle on 12lb. mono and a planer board rod. Getting it in a small walleye net was almost as much of a challenge as landing the fish to begin with.

Full details of the day can be found in the Wisconsin / Lake Wisconsin Forum.

Very nice fish

Congrats on a beauty

Very nice fish

my PB by a couple inches. I like to musky fish but seem to catch them when I’m after other things. I had a 41 earlier this year on 4lb test (crappies) and now a 48 on 12lb test (walleyes). Very lucky to get both of them. Thanks John for another great outing and a great net job. Everyone here knows how hard it is to get 30lbs of fish into a 10lb bag.

Awesome fish guys! Beautiful fish as well.

Kevin – what the heck did you do to deserve you’re own fishing guide? Especially one that will let you razz & heckle him to death and then take you out yet again and he still lets you catch all the fish.
I don’t know if there is such a thing as a “Fishing Debt” but you’re IOU to John must be getting pretty large.

Those are two dandy’s

Wow! That is one fat 37″ pike!

very healthy looking fish
