/I headed up to pineview this afternoon, and got on the water by 5. This was only my second time fishing it, the first trip only produced a crappie, even though it was a nice one. I hooked a big tiger on a big jointed rapala, but lost him right under my tube.
Well this time I had a little better luck, like I said I got out on the water fishin from my tube around 5 on the south side of cememtarty point. I threw a rapala for a while as well as a spinnerbait without a hit. As soon as I switched to a big bucktail I had a fish on :lol: Now this was my first muskie and I have to say I'm not disapointed in the least in regards to their fighting ability! This bugger took out line unlike any fish i've ever caught. I was lucky that a couple of guys in a boat were fishing near by and were able to help me out with a net and got a picture of me with the fish. It ended up being around 30" and I was satisfied for the day. But that wasn't all, I packed up and headed over to the other side of the point, in hopes of one more tiger. It took a while and lots of changing lures, but once I finally came back to the save bucktail I once again hooked into another Tiger, but this time bigger! 37" and I don't know about the weight, but a big fish. I had to end on this good note so I packed it up and headed out. If those who helped me out are members on this forum, thanks a bunch! The only downside is now i'm hooked on tigers!
