After giving it alot of effort the past several years, this years trip finally connected the dots. I go to Canada's lower French River every year and try my hardest to catch a big musky. Last Saturday, first spot, within the first 5 cast of the trip I connected on a awesome fish while doing the figure 8 right at the boat!! My adrenaline was at a all time high! What a awesome experience!! They biggest musky I have ever caught!

Following evening right at the boat again while doing a figure 8, had another bite. Unfortunately though the hookup wasn't good and after about 2 seconds, the fish was off. I was so bummed. We decided to hit 2 more locations after that experience and bam!!!! Figure 8 at the boat another good musky hit!! This time, the wife did a great job and got him in the net before he was off. What a great time!! I am ready to go back!!!

Nice!


Are they good eating?


Stop over cooking your meat! It isn’t gamey, it’s over cooked!

Throwing big lures. Mostly big bucktails and some big top water lures. I hope you get the chance to connect on one someday.

I have never fished Chautauqua. Looks like really nice water though.

I won't personally be at little valley this weekend. Our district has trapper training school and was asked to help with that. Ryan and Craig are heading up tomorrow evening to set up. Just Craig working the show however.

Congrats!! Two great fish within a couple of days, That's amazing! I used to catch a lot of nice pickerel up there. We would night fish in the long pool just below the Dalles. Were you staying at Camp McIntosh?
