Title: Caught My First Ever Muskie Today.
Post by: redarrow on May 17, 2012, 10:46:19 PM
 It ain't huge and I did release it ,but it is the first one I have ever caught. We were fishing for walleyes on the Detroit river.We only got one walleye and at least 100 silver bass. Check out the freighter in the shipping  channel passing behind me. That's Canada in the distance too.

That's awesome Red!

We took a trip up to the Lake Of The Woods several, several years back, we caught walleye, sauger, and a few muskie's.

We had a blast, I would love to do it again someday.

Yes it is.  I enjoyed talking with you. 

Have you ever been to Boblo Island?  It was actually onwed by Canada.  We went there in the 90's.  It's closed now and went out of business.

Congrats! As a strictly muskie fisherman I must say that that's a feat that takes many fisherman years to achieve! It took me four years to boat my first ski.

Congrats Red first one is always special,pretty looking one there too, nice color.

As for the Detroit river, its a great fishery however its a pain in your backside with an 8 mile an hour current. Need lots of patience because there are alot of snags
