I had a great day on the lake last week! Was fishing all day and caught quite a few rainbows. For reference, the biggest fish I’ve ever caught was a 19” walleye. We were heading in to the dock and decided to troll back slowly. I had a 2” spoon from Cabelas that I had never used, so I cast that out and put it in a rod holder on the boat. Then I cast a small crank bait on a pole I was holding. As we meandered back at 2 mph we were chatting away (me and my Sweetheart of 36 years) and she says “fish on!” and shuts off the motor. I drop my reel and grab the pole by her and start reeling … ok something big is on this! I had a fun time bringing this guy in and measuring … 30”! (the minimum keeper on this lake is 36”). What a memory we will both have of this day. Nearly 7 lb Tiger Muskey!
Grats! What a nice catch. What lake were you on?
TSP that’s one nice musky!
You are wearing an award winning smile...and what a beautiful fish on display! Great idea that you had for your troll back to the dock! Congratulations!
It is a little lake called Clear Creek Reservoir just north of Buena Vista, CO.

That’s a pretty tiger, a great photo and a happy man!
Good one to take to local grocery store or drug store… they will take it off phone and print it on paper with all sorts of options very low priced then can frame it.
