Hey thats not a bass!
Well me and my buddy were "sick" yesterday.... so we went fishing lol. since it was a rainy day We decided we would go try to get us a couple ski's on a local lake. The morning started waaaaaaaay slow not even a follow or anything. Around about 12 we decided to go jack a couple bass up shallow. I had had a few bass in the boat when all of a sudden the i set the hook and the revo was singing.... this was no bass. It was a nice muskie and it was crazy! did i mention i had her on 12lb fc. This dude took a little bit to land with all kinds of crazy runs. This is my biggest ski on bass gear.
Oh yeah my raincoat fell apart too lol. Last edited by mrmuskie5; 11-24-11 at 09:58 AM. |

Wow, Beautiful fish!!
It's really amazing how many Bassers get Muskiy. One of the lakes I fish, Delavan, has a good share of large musky. I loose a couple of lures every year to musky. Which brings the question, do you use a leader and what and when? Congradulations again. Great way to start your holiday. |

Nice 'ski! I love fishing for those things but we just don't have any closer than about 3 hours away I'd probably spend a lot less time bass fishing if there was some close by though.

The coat is actually a "mud coat" for 4 wheeling and it was brand new.... they are sending me a new one this week. I had forgot my frog togs at home and this piece of awsomeness was still in the package in my truck so i figured it would work lol...

Nice muskie! Must have been a blast on bass gear! I've caught a few pike around that size on bass gear, it is blast. Last summer I caught a 31 incher on a drop shot with 8lb Fluorocarbon!
