Musky Lips

Mike, Tell your brother congrats! Nice way to catch your first one (on a figure 8 ) . I read of dudes catching fish that way, never had it happen to me. Zach, Looks like a true hog to me, nice job...I am coming over right now to get those lures!!!!!

Yup Zach, that sounds like a real good time.....thanks for sharing! I do like the hook stories, especially the good ones (like Capt. Larry's). I have ALOT of respect for the hooks on our lures, especially when they are attached to the fish we are after.....

Larry, that sounds painful, to say the least. Were you gunshy after that incident? I had something similar happen to me (didn't need surgery) and I will never pick up a fish with the hooks still in the mouth. It was very nice of you to take your doc out fishing!!

(Zach) Saw you out there on Fri. Wanted to say "hi" but you looked like a man on a mission...glad to see you changed your "moto". You are as good as musky fishing as the Saints are at winning!! (to all) Musky fishing for Aug. was as tough as it gets (for summer fishing anyways). Does anyone know how algae blooms effect muskies, seems as though something had them shut off most/all of the time. Waneta surface temp was mid to upper 80's for a while (yikes!). Those toothy guys don't like it too much when it is that high (some fish took more than 30-40 mins. to revive). Capt. Larry, I am intrigued by your surgery story, was it fishing related? Or was it carpel tunnel (sp?) from all of those years fishing. Will be around Thurs- Sun for a memorial tourney, maybe we'll bump into one another. Later dudes!!

Z-Well good luck, wherever you end up.....If you are at the big pond, give me a holla!! Nitro, the weeds/grass or anything else floating has made me want to put on my downrigger....It is constant cleaning of the poles (even when they are dipped)....Z-did you get my e-mail of the "Great White Fisherman"....what a d-bag....sorry, I had to say it...

Z - I will be down on Thurs/Fri as well, maybe we will run into each other (how bout breakfast Fri. mid AM).....if you need some denero for lures, let me know...I will bring it with me...later

Thanks again for the info. It is very helpful! Sounds like I would be better off reselling these guys and buying some rockets...BTW struggled mightily this trip. What is everyones consensus on why the bite has fallen off a cliff?

Thanks for the info guys.....Some of what was said went flying at 5G's over my head...I am going to try them and see how they do...maybe they will end up on the wall instead...

Anyone ever use the Terminator (Rocketman) musky lure? I just bought a couple on E-bay (they weren't cheap). Any feedback would be appreciated.....

No offense, but I am glad it wasn't just me. Fished Thursday, Friday and part of Sat. and Sun. I NEVER boated a fish. I had some chances but lost one trolling and had bites casting. Was starting to think that the musky mojo was gone. That was a TOUGH strech. Anyways, good to hear the updates and good luck to everyone this week/weekend. Back to the "grind" later this week. Zach, looking forward to the new "z-man" lures....let me know if I can be of any help..

Nice Zach, hopefully I have half as much luck as you did. BTW, the "red lowe guy" is Mike S. He is a nice gentleman who lives on the lake. I think he needs a new tape measure though (jusk like someone else we know). Did anyone see the article about the professional bass angler who got caught stuffing bass with weights? http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/blog/194 ... community/

Here is a question for everyone here.... assuming everyone has fished Waneta and Chautauqua, which body of water has the bigger average fish (maybe one doesn't have a bigger average)? So, if you caught 10 fish from each lake, what would be the average size in your opinion. Musky Lips (my experience) Waneta-36 Chautauqua-37

Thank you, your fish looks bigger!

Howdy! So we should try some firetiger hah???? Sounds like a good idea to me. I would bet that Z-man does have some in his box, that is his favorite color! We will be down there Thrus. thru Sun. to try our luck. Maybe we'll run into somebody...
