Got out this morning for a few hours in Williamsport. First two hours were SLOW. Only caught one dink of a smallmouth on a crankbait. Then....game on! First came this new PB walleye slow rolling a 3/8 ounce spinnerbait. Put up a great fight, but once it got close enough, I put my new leverage landing net to use. Bam! 21.5" on the board.
This dude destroyed my spinnerbait. So after replacing that spinnerbait for another one, I continued the same presentation. Made a cast at the bank, and about halfway back to the boat my line goes straight down! At first I thought it was a catfish, but then there was some head shake and lots of left to right movement. A quick surface near the boat and I saw the beast, Musky! Took me for a solid 2 minute sleigh ride that had me pumped! Got close to netting 'em but quickly realized my net was too small. This thing had to be 30" plus. It was a beast. After another minute long sleigh ride, I got it boat side again and right as I went to put the lip gripper on, he was off. At first, I was pissed and heart broken, but then I just realized, I had an epic morning and nothing to complain about. One smallmouth, one walleye, and one musky. I shall return, maybe Thursday morning.
