Clear blue sky conditions at 8am with flat water is not what I was hoping for but with conditions expected to change I was willing to see if pre front conditions would be good on this particular day.
Trolling 12'-15' of water lead to nothing so off to the shallows we were in search of fish activity and it was immediate we knew we had made the right decision. With 3 fish follows on the first 5 casts (2-very nice ones) we had some high hopes creeping in until a pontoon boat decided to run the weed bed 75' off our bow..I wasn't impressed.
So locating to another similar spot and with a bit of cloud setting in due to a pick up in the wind we settled in a bay surrounded by a decent muskie chop.
This 42" decided a Weagle top water was just tasty enough to eat. A bit of gill damage was unfortunate but seemed not damaging enough to prevent a strong release. The best was this male hit like a freight train and did 3 incredible jumps which ranks it up with the best fight action to date...not bad for a 42" muskie.
