had a good clunk early,last pass fat 47 1/2.missed him in the net 3 times,finally got him,beckman almost went overboard.might head out solo again tonight.

started out at beaver , had a decent hit,preceded to the big tree.half way across,startled by(female) blood curdling scream coming from frenchman's,like whoa did you hear that? a minute later same thing, then one more.pondered calling canadian musky #.started heading over that way,mentioned to carl ,those screams are probably gonna call in a fish.within 3 seconds carl;s got one on,reach for my pole,bam,i got one on,leave boat in gear ,little hairy,40"and 41"in the beckman.head again towards…

heating up ,up here.bet your enjoying the big bronzebacks down there? digging the beckman,no more verticle hold for tom.nice to see a nice one clear the water. had two, hooks buried in his forehead, stayed down the whole way till he jumped. longest fight of the year . 

let carl tell the story.

had agood hit 2nd pass,9:45 really weird, a14inch musky came right up to my light, a few seconds later, fat 44 1/2  in the new beckman.the little one was warning me i was about to get slammed?

 riley , continuing message,ayear or two later i hooked 11 (twenty plus pounders) loving being out there is the key. you have to be a little insane to be a die hard musky fisherman.

got slammed at 11:30 (broke my jinx). chubby 45", good net job by carl, after yelling at him, (i get really excited when i get a big fish). took almost an hour to revive him, then finally, went back to my slow, sloshing back & forth, definitely revived him! almost to rupert's wall & he was swimming fine!!! thank god!
