My First Musky
« on: August 01, 2008, 04:01:26 PM »
Caught my first Musky out at Mayfield Lake last month.  It was my first time out, I'll post some pics later tonight, but man what a fun fish to catch!

Want to see the pics, I fish for them all the time in Curlew Lake. The only one I've ever caught was in Spring Valley Reservoir outside of Moscow ID. I was trout fishing. Kind of a surprise.  :fishin:

Ya I think it got caught in a motor or possibly fighting?  Do the Musky's fight with each other quite a bit?

Ya, he actually wasn't even legal size! :o  But, unless he was a monster and I wanted to mount him, I would have put them back anyways.  Because I wouldn't eat them.  I eat trout, but not the nasty lil Musky!  :)

Hey silk, way to go man. I've been thinking about going over there to Mayfield for a couple years now, but just never have. I used to catch Northern Pike all the time in SD, yes they are exciting to catch. Is it me or is the nose of that a little goofy?

That's what I thought too. Looks like it's missing about 2-3 inches of face, or maybe it got hit by something and it gave 'em that "roman nose"
Poor fish when he got hooked it was probably thinking "Well Son of a Bitch! what' it gonna be this time, every time I try to get a bite to eat I end up getting the *censored* beat out of me" :chuckle:

Hell I'd still like to catch some of them. I wouldn't care if it had a hair lip and a short fin :chuckle:
