Yesterday was pretty exciting for one client from St. Louis that decided to try his hand at Musky fishing. Mel ( 67 years young and I mean young!) was in front of the
Lund all day throwing his heart out when all of the sudden I heard Mel yell " Holy S*#T" and the boat jerked from side to side.
I'll start from the beginning. We started the windy day off by throwing
Bulldawgs and
Inhaler Bucktails off the cabbage edges with little to no luck. The wind prevented us from seeing any follows that may have occurred and boat control was tough. We threw and trolled for 4 hours before deciding to take a break and go in for lunch. After lunch we were both ready for a nap but figured we would give it another shot. It literally came down to the last few cast. Our day would end at 4:00 pm and at 4:07 is when all the excitement began.
Ok, back to the first paragraph. I looked at Mel and saw him brace his legs, dig the pole into his side and set the hook. I immediately looked to Mels lure and saw an amazing site. His fish hit the
Inhaler Big Daddy and took off....... straight up. It cleared the water by almost two feet. AWESOME SIGHT!! This was Mels first Musky and was "quickly" measured at 41 ". I think if we took our time and did it right we may have ended up a little larger. This musky was so think and fat that I think it would have tipped the scales at over 20 lbs. easily if not closer to 23-24.
Great job Mel and Congratulations to a good man and now friend.
