I went up to Pine View with my friend, he wanted to catch a large Tiger Muskie (ya right).[crazy] We fished from 9-Noon for Bass, because we didn't have big enough tackle for Muskies.
I had a few small hits in one area at noon and told him to come over and try it out. He had only fished it a couple minutes when he got a good hit and set the hook. The fish started to pull some line, by the time i got over to him. He had reeled it up a little and it made another run, pulling his pole close to the water. I said Dude you must have a Carp on, loosen your drag so you don't loose him. Again he reeled the fish up slowly, and said Dude its a Muskie. And I still didn't believe him until I went to put it in the net.
We took some Pics, measure him at 35" long and revived him safely. He was caught on 6 lb test and a green road runner tipped with a worn for perch.[laugh] What an awesome day. I was smiling and reliving the moment for the next 1 1/2 hrs.

Here are a couple of extra pics, biting through the net.
