  1. Wow man......... CONGRATS! Amazing story! Glad to hear they were all released as well.
  2. Awesome fish Upstate - congrats to you and your wife on a real trophy! And kudos for letting her swim away
  3. Hysterical Your stories are great Bob! Thanks for sharing and congrats on the catch & release of that nice night beast
  4. Nice going
  5. Congrats to Mike, Brent & Joe on their fish and special thanks to Capt. Ed (Reel Rippin Charters), Jim Reynolds (Mr. Toothy) and Bob for putting on a great event each year. I have a blast fishing this tourney and meeting all the guys in person and putting some names to faces. This is the only tournament that I have ever fished where the judge boats come around and deliver hot Chili to the participants while they are fishing!
  6. It's a blast Brent! If you have a radio on the boat then it's even more fun listening to all the commentary throughout the day. Hope to see some of you guys out there! Look for me trolling in 5 feet of water at 7mph wearing a big cowboy hat 😋 Sent from Lake Ontario United mobile app
  7. Haha I know! Bob is an LOU Sponsor ( http://www.fingerlakestackle.com ) and a very talented painter. He also delivers a story like no other! I feel like I'm there in the action reading this post. Congrats on your giant bud!! Sent from Lake Ontario United mobile app

  12. Fish looks like a PERFECT Chautauqua specimen... albeit a very large one! Congrats on the giant bud! Sent from Lake Ontario United mobile app
  13. Nice pike fishmaker! Sometimes it only takes one to make the day. Sent from Lake Ontario United mobile app
  14. I agree Brent - what a great group of musky guys we got going here. Really awesome to see and thanks again to all those who contribute. Sent from Lake Ontario United mobile app
  15. Nice post Darryl - thank you for sharing! I've never tried a BK rig but the under water footage of it is just awesome!
  16. Brent - I think trolling with spoons would pretty much limit your speed over ground (SOG) to 3.0 mph or less before they would just spin up on you. I'm sure there are some spoons out there that can handle faster speeds but 3.0 SOG seems to be my limit. More importantly with spoons you need to pay attention to your downspeed as that will certainly be different from your SOG depending on a wide variety of factors. I haven't really tried trolling spoons much for muskies so most of my thoughts are based on my trout/salmon fishing.
  17. Yup.......... that is cool! Thanks for sharing
  18. Nice fish there. Congrats guys! Sent from Lake Ontario United mobile app
  19. Nice northern guys - way to go! Looks like you had a fun time out there.
  20. Guys - thank you all for the kind words! Darryl - I'll definitely pay a visit to the Save the River group next chance I have and make a little donation. This weekend looks like I might be down on Chautauqua. Good luck to each of you if you make it out this weekend. Chad
  21. Hi EsoxAC3 - You are right - looks like the program is run by Save the River. What a great idea that is! Kudos to Save the River and Michael Ringer for partnering up on a program like this. Here is the link for others looking for more information on the Catch and Release program. http://www.savetheriver.org/index.cfm?page=app.programsMuskie You can download the required forms right there as well. Cheers, Chad
  22. Hi Fisherman72 - Pike have come on a wide variety of baits including tubes, bucktails, jerkbaits and spoons (red/white dare devil). Any weedy bay will hold pike up there. Spoons were our best lure for pike recently though - they wanted it slower. Thanks for info on musky release prints EsoxAC3 - I'll look more into that! Chad
  23. Thanks everyone for the kind words. Many hours go into getting that one strike. Don't let the one hour fool ya - it was a very calculated hour that was right at both sunset and moon rise on a full moon cycle. It was the one hour that day you definitely wanted to be musky fishing Sent from Lake Ontario United mobile app
  24. Yeah that was new PB for me Ivan. My previous was 51.5" - this one had it beat by a couple inches. IGFA contender for sure but wife & baby are not members so I don't think it counts. No worries though..... in my heart of hearts, I'm still smiling
