schmith12 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Girlfriend and I did some Muskie and Pike fishing in front of my house. I had what looked to be a 45+ muskie follow up and followed like 4 figure eights. We fished for another 30 minutes then I dropped her off at the neighbors dock to walk home as I was going to run the boat across the lake and load it up. I got my rod out and thought ah I better throw a few more casts. I as burning it just under the surface and bam, it went 50"s she was pretty skinny for her size but hey it was the biggest fish I've ever caught. Thanks to Maverickrod for selling me the bait!

schmith12 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 from strike to in the net probably a couple minutes, I got it close to the boat pretty fast cause it made run towards me, it took a minute before it was ready for the net. That LDC XXH made it a breeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat-G Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 That is unreal man. I actually had a dream last night that Mickey sent me a couple of those 10.5" Sidewinder (or something like that) baits and I was at this unknown river. Raised and eventually caught a huge pike (all in my dream, mind you) and I was so pumped up I woke the whole house up yelling and high-fiving myself. I would honestly get goosebumps if I watched one of those fish following a figure 8. You know, cali bass fishing and all of these awesome bass swimbait lakes would be fun, but I really want to catch a big pike or muskie, and saltwater swimbait with Dave in Florida!
