Time to light things up for the 4th on this site! Me and my son have been chasing Muskies for a few seasons and have not had much luck. So we decided to change it up a bit and we hit gold ! Started tossing stick baits into the midnight hours while everybody was sleeping and all hell broke loose. We landed 8 Muskies in three nights of fishing! Seven Muskies were over 40" and two were over 30lbs. Several of the fish were airborne big time trying to shake those plugs. We landed all from shore while wading and all were caught on light line with leaders. This was the best Muskie action I will probably ever see in my life and I got to share it with my son! It don't get any better!!!!!! Yea I did keep the big one to put on my wall...got to keep that memory close by for years. A fish of 10,000 casts............. http://outdoors.webshots.com/slideshow/580443244XsTYKW

Looks like you guys had some tremendous fun! Thanks for the pics and congrats! Doesn't get much better than that

Great collection of fish! That 48 incher was a hog. Congratulations.

nice fish glad you did well congrats

Awesome! No doubt on which ones was over 30#. Congrats!!!

very nice fat boy there. Midnight stick baits ay hmmm

mighty fine pix, cap'n. man, you two sure know how to have some fun.

Just want to say thanks to all. Sorry I'm not that good at posting a run of photos so I loaded them into my webshots for viewing. Avidangler, that hog you released and some of your Musky tips kept me interested in the Musky hunting. I can't tell you how many hours of casting on lakes and rivers we did over the last few seasons. Musky fishing is not for the weak of heart and it can get very discouraging to say the least. It does have it's rewards when you finally score. Hope too post more Musky photos in the future............hopefully soon.

is nice when the musky fishing comes easy sometimes haha... makes up for hundreds of hours of nothing :)P

what was the longest you guys got just wondering, heard about a 52 being caught

What lake if I may ask. Congratulations! That one is a hog. A trophy anywhere.

We just did two weeks in Ontario. First week was a bust. The late cold rainy spring took it's toll on us and we only boated 4 muskies. Biggest 37.

The second week was quite different. In 7 1/2 days we boated 160 muskies trolling board with crankbaits. 113 were over 30 inches. Biggest 49, 47.5 AND 45.... but nothing like the hog you guys got there! Heck my biggest for the week was only 37! My 2 man crew got all the big ones. :-( Sounds like non stop action BUT, just like your story, & my first week compared to the 2nd, muskies are feast or famine. One day we only caught 6. The next day was something that's never happened to me... we got 47 in the boat with 39 over 30. next day we got 11. day after that 39 with 28 over 30. Don't ask me cause I don't know what the heck was going on. The other boat in our cottage had steady 20+ fish days and ended with 166 for the week with a 49, 50.5 and a 54. The week before two boats of friends got 99 and 154 fish for the week but only a couple over 40. Thanks to catch and release the good ol days of muskie fishing are right now! That myth about muskies being a fish of 10,000 casts is outdated. I'll get a couple pics on when I download them from my camera.
