Met up with a bunch of brothers at Lake Tapps. PDXFisher and I spent the day Musky huntin'. Started out early finished late. Saw 3 Tigers, a couple in the 40 inch range and one in the mid 30's. Fish were not to interested in hitting. PDX said lets troll..so we did. For while. Marked a ton of fish. I finally hooked and put a 45 x 19 Tiger in the net...interesting battle. The Tiger went straight down to the bottom. In 25 feet of water. She hooked onto something on the bottom. Thought I lost her for a while. Finally gave it a good jerk it came out and the tiger was still on. Put em' in the net. Photo'd and released. She took off with a strong tail kick...Pretty cool day we had the President of Muskies Inc, President of Chapter 57, Vice President of Chapter 57 and the Regional Vice President of Chapter 57, Angler of the Year, me and PDXFisher....A whole band of Chapter 57 NW Tiger Pac "Representin Yo" !!! See yah and remember "Let em' go, so they can go"

Nice fish! I saw all you guys at the launch in the morning. I'm normally the only person there when I go that early. Didn't I just read an article in F&H news where Deadeyemark said htere is no reason to get up early this time of year...lol.

I'm gearing up and hopefully will have my own Muskie rig soon. I figure I'm out there enough and see them so much, I would like to catch them properly. Way to go!
