The Big One

Last night, after enjoying a beautiful fall day and some disappointing news, Glenn and I went fishing.

Wednesday nights are our time to spend on the water, catch up on news, watch nature and fish.

This year, the prey of choice is the Musky. It is rare that we are fishing for anything else. But after 4 fish boated this year, quite a few "follows" and some near misses, we caught....
THE BIG ONE!

We think we have almost hooked this fish before due to the size of the swirl he makes at the lure. Still, nothing can compare to having him hit, fight, surface out of the water and actually net him.

The smile on Glenn's face in the photos we took after measuring the 55" fish says it all.
