Well my persistence finally paid off. I didn't really want to get up early this morning but I knew if I didn't I wouldn't want to go later, with the heat and boat traffic. Got this nice 44 inch-er equalling my largest from last season. I had another about the same size follow that looked real interested but it swam of after a few laps of the 8.

Red, great looking fish. I could have used that fish yesterday in the Tapps Tourney. :) I agree with Deadeye, it is nice to see a Tiger with healthy extremities for a change.

I got it at 5:30 am before the traffic one dock down from my house. I have no idea what the water temp was I didn't take the boat, I was flying solo in the canoe instead -old school. The fish towed me around a while and spun me in a 360. I got a net on it just a few feet from my own dock, and Mama ran down from the house in her PJ's for a quick picture. what a trooper. The fish was only out of the water for a few seconds and released unharmed he bolted right back under my dock . Back to his home.

How did you only rate that day a 3 out of 5 stars? Seems like an automatic 5 to me.

For fishing close to home , solo , and early before the skiers show up there's something peaceful and calming about the canoe, until a muskie blows up your lure. The funny thing is I've caught a lot more muskies in it than in the boat. Maybe its stealthier. And yes it was a 5 star morning.
