you should have seen the one that got away...

That, my friends, is a 45" musky (or as Isaac would say, "a BIIIIIIIIG musky-fish!") caught in South Minneapolis at Lake Harriet. And that is the reason my husband stood out in freezing temperatures, with 26 layers on, with ice forming in the bottom of the boat, with strong gusting winds. All for the love of the game. And he is so proud :).

Wow, I can't believe fish that BIG are in Lake Harriet. I would not have expected that!!

This would be why I don't prefer to swim in lakes.

Not much...they let the musky go. They did catch another 41" later that day, but that was it. A good haul, though, for musky fishing. Apparently they can be very difficult to find. Who knew? :)
