Fished last nite at sunset,pool four, casting the rip rap with ring worms, got six fish 22 to 25 inches but no big mama’s. This is the first fish my buddy Dick Kahn got to start the evening out. No flash on phone camera and the rest came right at dark and the following hour then they quit biting completely. Dont know if phones come with flash or not now. The picture of fish in water is a 42 inch Muskie below the power dam on lake Zumbro about a half mile down stream. There were three of us in a canoe fishing smallies when it hit a clown colored shallow fat rap. Way to tippy with canoe to pick it up but got several pics of it laying next to us. Measured it with a canoe paddle and taped it later.
It was quite the scene while my brother in law was fighting it, Larry Vicker, lots of excitement going on. This took place a month ago or so. releasing it was the hardest part.
The next picture is a northern my brother Mike Ryan got the same trip right below the dam. Then one of clark powell with another plastics caught fish in late October at the Dam. Last but not least me with one on same trip with Clark. All thes nice fish were released to fight another day.
