Great day at the View 10/17/13

Ira and I were fishing in the Narrows at Pineview today, I caught a small crappie and as I was reeling it up I felt a hard tug, I thought it was strange, so I looked over the side of the boat and there was this tiger musky with the crappie in his mouth. The musky dove deep and the crappie came out of it's mouth, bummer but as I looked at the crappie floating up the tiger came back and grabbed it again, it dove again and then I saw the crappie floating up again, I thought it was over but but some stroke of luck the little crappie jig came loose and lodged in the corner of the tigers mouth. The battle went back and forth for 10 minutes or more before we finally got it in the little crappie net I had but of course it was not over. I had it to the net 3 more times before Ira almost had to jump in the water to get the fish in the boat. It was totally amazing that the 6 lb test did not break. We took a pic measured it and back in the water it went. It was one tired fish and it took a few minutes to get it going again but it finally swam away to fight another day. That made my day but we did catch 12 to 15 crappie, a perch and a few mud cats. Around 1pm the wind came up and we left.

Met TubeDude and RockyRaab as we were heading to the narrows, then Triton21 and Perchski(sp?) came by a little after I caught my tiger, good to see all you guys again and meet you Perchski. Lots of folks there today, talked to an old guy as we were leaving today, he will be 94 tomorrow, he and his son launched their boat and went out to the docks and just stayed there and fished. I was amazed, this guy told his son he wanted to came back out and fish on his birthday tomorrow[cool].
