Some more muskies please

[pro-vel]

I went out today to test out a live scope unit and it did not disappoint. I was trolling and watching my lure on the forward view when something jumped about 20 feet ahead of me. So for fun I turned the live scope to the front and saw a very big fish on the screen. As I am still going forward I turn the unit to the back while still having the fish on the screen. Then my lure comes into view and I drop it a couple of feet toward the fish. Then the fish streaks up and my lure disappears from the screen. I couldn't believe it. Turns out to be a 42" musky. This one was just flaring and thrashing and it was heavy.

I also missed one on the first cast. Last week I went out also but the wind was a little too much. I anchored for a while and decided to head back in. While I'm pulling up the anchor, the front of the boat drops three feet and I have both hands on the rope leaning forward. The boat comes back up and gives me a love tap to the side of the head. Almost knocked myself out. It can happen so quick. Glad I was wearing my life jacket. Someone was looking out for me because as soon as I got back to the dock I had a 36" musky on the first cast.

Hope everyone has a chance to get out.

Good job on the muskies. Glad you are ok on the bump on the head.

That’s awesome. Open water fish I’m guessing? I’m still not sure how I feel about live scope but that’s an awesome fish.
