  1. I was fishing between Catfish and Pleasant Pt, kept trolling north - south. Got into 70fow with a dipsy out 250 on #3 setting, making a port turn with that dipsy on the outside the musky hit, the rod was jumping but not like when a good salmon hits it. The fish stayed down the whole fight until right behind the boat, I thought it would be a big laker, I didn't know what it was at first. My wife got it in the net and I lifted it aboard. It layed on the deck next to the fish box which is at least 38 inches long and he hung past each end by a good 6 inches. I quickly weighed him then put him back in the water. He was belly up for a while then I lost site of him, hope he made it. I really didn't realize what a big deal it was to catch one until my good friend Yukon Joe said he'd been chartering for over 35 years and never caught one! PS The lure was a magnum spoon, chrone with what looks like a christmas tree of bright green down the center.

    Outstanding! Thanks for update.
