The fish of 10,000 casts
« on: November 11, 2006, 04:59:49 PM »
Well that’s what they say, and that’s with gear!!! With a fly it’s supposed to be like a million casts or something like that. Grumpy decided that was just too much work and decided to catch one with 50 or 60 casts. Way to go Grumpy. You’ve joined the ranks of the very few who have landed a Musky on the fly. Congratulations!

doh, a little more hood there & i'd look like the Darth Fisherman :o
Thanks for letting me tag along, i'd be willing to go again, next time hopefully one of us can catch a big un.
We ran into a guy that was using conventional gear, he had some lures that looked blame near as big as that fish, i was almost skeert when i saw those.

Grumpy I had a great time and thanks for breakfast and lunch! I could tell you were in pretty bad shape with your back pain. I've been there and know how the pain can take your breath away. I was getting pretty damned cold and I just don't like fishing in falling temps. I think calling it a day early was the right thing. We need to do this again, soon.

I saw that too, Leo. At first I thought it was a log. Upon futher inspection, I'm thinking Anaconda.  ;D

Way to go guys.

Yesterday, I was at the bottom. I was at the bottom of a valley, in the river. Then my eyes hiked up the mountains to the snow capped peaks. I thought, "When I am at this lowest place I can be, standing in a river, everything is looking up."

Yes, this place is infested with GIANT Anacondas Crocagators, and Coperheaded Rattlemouths. I would not go there if I were you! Hell just look at the teeth on the fish in this place. NASTY!

I remember not catching muskie back in 2006.  I think I'm a lot better at not catching them now.
