The wife and I got down to redwing today (alone) and we planned on targeting white bass but the GOD’s had other plans for us. Eventually everything panned out and the day ended with a BANG. I set the hook on what I thought to be a snag but then it started gracefully swimming away from me and fast I pulled the anchor and chased the fish dowmstream. After a 35 minute wrestling match on a 7’6″ ML shimano crucial rod, Plfueger president xt 6725 (yup a small reel), and 6 pound Pflourocarbon line as well as a BFishin jig, I landed this 40 plus inch musky. Thanks to Dave Beck (the photographer) I was able to get some pics of the fish and my wife. Yes we did end up catching some nice White bass also. Thanks to Tiny Tim and Brian K.
I finally caught a fish that I can definately say is MY personal best. I have been wanting to post something like this since I became a member to this site. Thanks again to every one at Evert’s and it is safe to say we will be back very soon.
