should have left the boat at home but i took it out and have nothing to show for it. hunting in blizzard conditions saturday- back home now.

looking forward to a great weekend! leaving work early friday to go fish waneta and then off to camp 15 miles away in bath to sleep and wake up to go hunting to start off archery season. hopefully i will get a musky and a deer this weekend. I'll call it the sportsmans double if i can pull it off. have a good weekend boys! looking for snow down there this weekend. burrrrrrrr! byw i will troll only, last time burning those big blades for hours got me sore, what a baby i am.

he is dead- he does have some sons that people have high hopes for. we will have to wait and see.

wishing i was out. getting ready for bowhunting as well. you'll get your fatty sooner or later.

good for you, i hope to get my little guy on some jumbos in a few years also. good father!

i have heard that its been great fishing for perch anywhere on the lake for the last 2 seasons and alot came out of the lake last winter also. nice job. tasty little boogers aren't they?

nitro- those are the lures i used for blue fish in N.C. it was the only lure that the faster you worked it the better it worked. i never even thought of fishing waldos w/ them but i can see the idea. heavy little things they are. i have like 10 left over and they just hang on a wall now.

doesn't look like i missed too much. seems that it has been slow lately there. i have been looking at the waneta lake web cam lately and it seems that i don't see many people fishing lately. hopefully it will turn around once the lake settles and gets colder. good luck boys!

i believe that the perchbaits are at least 5/0 and i believe mustads. plows- now thats a good size hook- must be like 6/0 or 7/0 long shanks. don't forget to t-them also.

good luck brad. want to get out but you know.......

youtube has a cool video of a 6pack of skies from the niagra.

don't really limit myself to musky its just what i prefer. i ice fish for lakers ( love them ), the wary walleye and the goofy crappie. muskies are just the king for me. i'm still looking for my personal best. my guess is that my search for the personal best may never end.

no walleyes here. i am fishing for the mighty muskellunge.

too bad he just died! only 3 years old.

got a new elite z-28 and can't wait for the first good shot. plan on going to the acorns in Bath for the opener and hitting up hennrietta when i can't get down to the tier. good luck boys! i'm ready to start slinging some arrows and following some blood trails soon! 8 points or better for me on the bucks and any doe that comes in alone is done. walking jerky is what i call the does.

just wondering who here will hit buffalo harbor when its time? i plan on going at least once since i will be devoting most of my time to bowhunting. i know to go slow w/ plows but thats about it. have never been there before but have read alot about it.

my guess is a small pike. very easily could be wrong. if it was 55" i think we coud get a better idea of what it was.

after this weekend i think that i may change my name to "the worlds worst musky fisherman" all i got was 15lb carp i snagged in the butt trolling. for a minute i thought i had a big musky, but as "the worlds worst musky fisherman" i was soon to find out i snagged a big carp. damn it. casted my butt off and did no good. stayed casting weeds until dark with double 10's and should have left earlier. sore today in the shoulders from those things and i have a big rod and reel i was throwing them on. could not do that every time out! its a good thing that bowhunting is starting soon. is getting skunked the last 2x out consist of being in a rut?

andre the giant could hold that fish behind him ten feet and it would still look big and yes it looks like they are holding it way out. i do the same thing when i take a musky pic. remind me to never put up a pic of a good fish on here.

so am i fishing against just bob and chaut tony or what? solgrande-its on! my suckers will get hit! went through hell to get em. nitro- getting down? doesn't seem as though that many people will be there. tony good luck, will be nice to meet you.

photoshop is ruining the musky world. this one was real though boys so it can be now laid to rest. a dead certified fish doesn't lie about its weight. i think that the red fins on this fish made it look weird. still looks 2x bigger than the 56 incher from chautauqua.

just joking nitro- yeah- looks like a larger wiley knock-off. there are so many that are so similar to the wileys. probally the most copied design out there. pic is in the article, there are 19 pics in the article. they said lure was a musky magnet. googled musky magnet and you just get the jerkbait. maybe its locally made?

i heard it hit the new 5" plastic tuff shad w/ rattle from one person and from another person, i heard it was caught on a x-rap. btw this fish was certified by alot of people, its real.

not to stir the pot but this looks 2x bigger than the 56" from chautauqua. this one was 55".

it is soooooo big. good ole black and silver does it again and the guy was fishing alone. scary big. it says that the guy doesn't even have a car, only this nice musky boat. fish hit the propwash lure also.http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/ga ... ke?photo=0 look through the pics.
