So it took me 10 trips and about 60hrs on the water to catch my first tiger of the year!! Ya ya ya I know there will be a bunch of you who will go out on your first trip and score a tiger! Well not for me! I put in the time and effort and it finally paid off.
Man i dont know why it took me 10 trips to finally use the ole throw back go to money muskie set up (a bobber slowly retrieving a bluefox and of course tipped with the scrumptious TDC). [sly]Ok it wasnt a bf TDC it was a swamp donkey cobra pattern!
but ya pv has been tough, water levels and temps have been fluctuating lately. water temp as of yesterday was 53 at heighest! lake is full to the brim!
headed up tomorrow for a 12 hr pv session!
good evening and good fishin folks[fishin]!

A beast like that would be worth 10 trips and sixty hours.
I will get myself one of those one day.
Congrats.

Yeah bro - that'll be me. First half an hour on the water, dead sticking some silly jig, while I dropshot for perch... and I'll hook up. (ok, so I'm NOT holding my breath!)
Bud - I must say - I SO look forward to hooking into one of them beastly pups on a top water, or some fat-ass paddle tail whatsit! Let's make some commotion!
I always hate to translate number/amount of fish into time spent on/by the water.
I did get to pitch some of your frogs and cranks today on the river, figured I was in froggy zone (open your ears) but, alas - no love. I'll bet Newton or Mantua will find something to slap 'em.
Hit the water today at 8:30, got off around 5:30 - and THAT's considered a long day. You going round the clock, better plan on bringing a sammich and beve!
Got talk about hitting Newton next week. Hope if we have a good stretch of warm to help fire things up.
Congrats on your first, or undoubetly MANY more successes to come!!!

Well aint that a big bass fish... Bet the fight of that guy was worth the time and effort. Thats probably why I love fishing so much! Just the challenge of learning the species and trying to beat it at it's own game... Kinda makes me second guess swimming in that puddle though...
Now get out of there and win the channel cat contest!

So where was the surf in the background on that there photo dude?! [:p]
