Still trying for a Musky - ekimjack - 07-01-2013 Been Fishing Pineview trying to catch me a musky the past few weekends to no avail. I'll just have to keep at it I guess. My wife did manage to catch a nice bass and I figured I would share.

[signature] Re: [utahgolf] Still trying for a Musky - ekimjack - 07-01-2013 It was a fun fish. It came up out of the water a couple of times. [signature] Re: [ekimjack] Still trying for a Musky - Jordanporritt - 07-01-2013 Keep at it! My friend and I have been going out almost every weekend and have caught quite a few small ones but he finally hooked into a monster!

Thanks for sharing. [signature] Re: [Jordanporritt] Still trying for a Musky - Kent - 07-01-2013 Beautiful fish. I don't want to start a bash fest, but please have your friend review this link on how to handle tiger muskies: [url "http://wildlife.utah.gov/fishing/tiger_muskie_tips.php"]Link[/url] [signature] Re: [kentofnsl] Still trying for a Musky - Jordanporritt - 07-01-2013 Yeah I mentioned that to him, I know the second picture is not "proper handling." I figured I would get crap for posting it on here but I figured it was too nice of a fish not to share. [signature] Re: [Jordanporritt] Still trying for a Musky - FattyGreens - 07-01-2013 Share away man, it is what it is, don't let the musky nazis steer you away! [signature] Re: [Jordanporritt] Still trying for a Musky - Utcatman - 07-02-2013 welp since you didnt catch it i wont go crazy on ya... but yea.... tell your friend if he wants to see more that size to Never hold them vertical.. it can make there organs flip, damage their swim bladders, and ruin their spine... a fish that size what 45"?? probably near 23 lbs or so give or take a few ... not good for em. NICE TIGER though.. i see you guys out almost as much as myself [] [signature] Re: [Utcatman] Still trying for a Musky - Jordanporritt - 07-02-2013 Yeah I wasn't even in the same boat as him when he caught it. I've actually really been working on proper handling and keeping the fish in the water and getting them released quickly and everything. But yeah, the fish was 45" and about 25lbs. I thought that was you I see out there all the time but wasn't sure. What kind of boat do you have? [signature] Re: [Jordanporritt] Still trying for a Musky - Utcatman - 07-02-2013 Its an old boat - that s newly painted black and white... has musky hunter emblems on it ...can't miss it - [signature] Re: [Jordanporritt] Still trying for a Musky - bornfishin - 07-02-2013 Now you just need to catch them out of a float tube, toon or yak. That is where the challenge is. [] I am still trying from my yak, and toon. Tube check! [signature] Re: [Utcatman] Still trying for a Musky - Jordanporritt - 07-02-2013 Yeah that's the one I was thinking. I like the paint job on it, looks good! [signature] Re: [Jordanporritt] Still trying for a Musky - flygoddess - 07-02-2013 Did he keep it? [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Still trying for a Musky - Jordanporritt - 07-02-2013 The Muskie? Of course he didn't. [signature] Re: [Jordanporritt] Still trying for a Musky - ekimjack - 07-07-2013 I kept at it and it finally paid off! I lucked out and caught one. Way excited! [signature] Re: [ekimjack] Still trying for a Musky - Jordanporritt - 07-07-2013 Awesome! And that's a nice one too! Congrats! It's been a good weekend for them. My buddy went out again this morning and caught 3 more on topwater but they were smaller.

Can you still see them in the shallows? I got bit off on my first cast about 2 weeks ago on a new fly i tied. I was still streching my flyline when a big one hit the fly that was just sitting there. Spooky. [signature]
