Never caught a Musky...gotta update my Bucket List!! Pretty Cool Tom, Ingwe It took me a long time to get one of those suckers, now I get a few a year. My biggest I don't have a pic of, caught it on the WI River durring a Walleye tournament. 46" 26#, 8lb fireline, w/ no leader. That was fun. Thankfully it was cold out, and the fish made it. I probably would have kept it if the season was open.

That 36-38" pic I have has a scar from something on it too. Don't know what it is. Dpole says he knows, but wouldn't tell me.
She was an old sucker, lots of scars and not many teeth.
Man some of the pike you guys are getting through the gets me fired up! Keep the pics coming guys.

I'm diggin' the Yar-Craft dude....nice boats. Made in the town I live in.
That would be my second choice for a glass boat. Probably first now that Ranger is sold and will probably go down the tubes.

yeah but its an old one.....takes us twice as long to get around the lake as the guys in newer ones......course at this point its just costing my buddy fuel and upkeep and isnt a big payment every month some of those new boats are worth more than my house

Man are you guys making me eight shades of green with jealousy!
While growing up my grandfather and I used to ice fish every weekend and northerns were often the fish of choice. Can recall having to wear bandaids on my little fingers of each hand most of the winter because of the line burns caused by the dacron line slicing the skin when the fight was on.
I REALLY need to get my kids into a mess of those toothy critters this spring. Nothing more fun to catch then a hard fighting northern!

Boy I tell ya, there aren't too many cuts & scratches that heel slower than those from northern teeth. When I was younger, tougher(dumber) I donated more than my share of skin to then toothy bazdards.

Big, deep boats. A new walleye 209 or 219 will set you back 45-50K though. So far, they have the best fishing layout of any tiller I've seen yet. I really, really like the 1785 tiller. I wouldn't have to do a thing to that boat, but add my poles and hit the lake.
