First cast around 8. Junkster had a quick nice follow.. short time later I had a big follow..then we moved around and caught a couple bass and pike. and decided to go over and try for the follows again. we drifted past the way points and i was in the middle of a sentence when wham.. f**k no fish.... was a musky for sure.. next drift same spot as the previous hit or alittle past. wham.. this fish was weird. did head shakes all the way to the boat. like it knew the routine.(do some head shakes and get off). got to the boat did a run. Dale scooped it up.. next drift another big follow... decided to try for #70 again. my bucktail hit the water wham.. looked up pole bent good. then see my Mepps Giant Killer coming out of a large boil..lost it.... I was pissed. next cast back to the same spot. wham!! same thing.. same spot... same fish??.. got it in after a series of runs. kinda crazy you usually dont get a 2nd chance at a Musky.. was one of the most powerful fish I have caught. not the biggest but she had major power for a 43 inch fish.. then we had a break in action and called for a Hungry Howies pizza... back to the lake after that. Dale lost 2 smaller muskies.then we had a couple follows. Dale almost had the one in the 8.. we did another drift. Dale decided to go back to the Cowgirl he had the follow on and first cast. wham fish on. did some runs. landed it.. this is where it got interesting.. I decide to take it off..... Dale says watch the hooks.. fish flaps. I calmly say I am hooked..or something like that. burried it to the bone. now I have grippers with the fish in one hand. and the other hand has a musky attached by hook to hand.. Good thing dale had his cutters.. he cut the hook off and threw the fish back.after a quick pic.. I couldnt feel my finger. had a hook stickin out.. Dale says we need to get to the hospital. I say. what..Ill get it.. Im thinkin are u kidding me.. fish are biting. im not going anywhere.. I would have fished with the hook in if I had to..As I was workin the hook out. I felt it rubbin bone.. not a good feeling. I thought Iwas in trouble.luckily I pulled it back through. Ill post a pic.. those cowgirl hooks are no joke. barbs are huge. that was it for the action,. ended the day with 3 musky. 4 Lm and a pike. .. a good day. fish were scattered between 6-8 feet.salt area.. my 2 came on A Giant killer tandem brown/yellow gold blade,,Junkster custom cowgirl .. A good day. We couldnt get the 4th fish we wanted. but still had a good time. Musky action on and off all day
