When the goin get tough...

Acutely searching for any shred of deer movement after a tough morning, Cousin Jake finds nothing of significance.

Monster Mortality


Above is an excellent example of monster fish bones arranged in such a way as to resemble a giant muskie, and in fact, that is precisely what it is, or was.  It was found recently on the banks of a small lake I row on a regular basis.  This particular lake is absolutely chalked full of muskies, which isn't ideal for trophy water, but nontheless has larger bounty, i.e, above.  Very few non-natives frequent this gem, and I hope you will not lose sleep over the potential of the lakes I frequent, as I have.

Opportunity Lost

A robust muskie grabbed my sucker and I proceeded to chase her out to deep water.  When I finally caught up to her, and set the hook, I was left without a sucker, harness, and weights.  Not cool, guy.

Slay Time

Poor day yesterday on the water soaking suckers in Vilas Co.  Great morning in a tree in Marathon Co.  A good level of deer activity coupled by a good amount of testosterone in the air has me foreseeing blood this weekend.
