Not a bad way to start November. These 3 fish were
part of a 5 fish day on November 1, 2005.

Randy B pulled up stake and left the lake to head down
to the woods for some deer hunting on the afternoon of November 4. I
was quite concerned that I might not get another fish after losing my guide
and mentor, especially considering I had a buddy coming out to fish Saturday
and part of Sunday morning (Nov 5, 6.) Well, either I was apying attention
or the fish were real hungry cause we managed to find a few more that Saturday
and a little bit of the next morning. It was very cool to see my good
friend catch 5 muskies on his first real muskie fishing trip as well as a
personal best northern. I did manage a couple of baby fish, so dont
think I let him catch them all. Just the nice ones. HAHAHA Way
to go, Dan. You da Man!

Not bad for one day, huh? Better than working on
the fence and landscaping the yard, wouldn't you say?

We managed 4 fish in about 3 hours before Dan had to
head for home. Dan's 39" was the biggest, but there was a problem with the
picture so only his 32 incher will get to be posted. I went out after
he went home and managed 3 more muskies, but the biggest was 36.5 inches.
So it was a 5 fish day for me personally and 7 fish in the boat total.
Both were personal bests so I was kind of excited, even though there
were not any real big ones. They turned out to be my last muskies of
the year, but you'll see below that I managed to find a couple more for another
"Rookie."
Some of you may recognize this guy. He's the one
that comes around on the weekends to fix stuff and let me sleep in a few
hours. Yes, he's the big boss. Fishing with my Dad was something
we used to do every summer when I was growing up. There may have been
one summer until Dad and Mom took over the resort in 1992 that Dad and me
didn't spend a great deal of time out fishing. Since then, we may have
gotten out in the boat to fish 4 or 5 times, if that. So it was pretty
cool to get Dad out there for a few hours on November 7 to try for some muskie.
He boated 3 fish and I think he had some fun. HAHAHA The third
of the day was a little 22 incher so we didn't bother with the camera on
that little guy.
Daryl's first two muskies ever.
