Big Fish

Fished with Joe and Uncle Dan. Temperature this morning was in the lower 60s and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 80s. The wind was out of the northeast 5 to 12 knots with waves 1 to 2 feet. The water temp is 79 Degrees. Started fishing where we were on the last trip, set up with wiggle warts at 6o feet on one side of the boat and 80 feet on the other side. The catching was very slow but we were marking a lot of fish so we tried to work this area. Caught a couple of fish off the 80 foot side so we tried jet 40s set at 40 feet to replace the wiggle warts that were at 60 feet. Caught nothing but junk fish off the jets so we put wiggle warts back on and set them at 110 feet.It seemed to help but the catching was very slow. With about an hour to go in the trip Joe caught a 42 inch muskie. It took some time to bring it in but he did manage. Dan went to net the fish and only half of it would fit in the net. Some how he manged to get it all into the net and into the boat. According to the muskie charts the average weight of a 42 inch muskie is 20 lb. Kept 6 walleye, cleaned them up and then went to Trapper's for a walleye lunch.
