I made another trip with Blue Ridge Musky in some rather brisk conditions. “Only” landed two muskie. Started fishing with them last year, hoping to catch a muskie. Now I expect to catch muskies every time. I’ve been spoiled. Shouldn’t say it but so far, I have landed muskie every trip with Capt. Sam Scott. Best day, landed 8. It can’t continue, muskie fishing, 10,000 casts, and all of that. I guess I’ll find out how long the streak can go.
I still don’t catch way more than I land. Casting this over-sized rubber frog (a lure I was laughing at) and I snagged a log. Still think I snagged a log but somehow it turned into a big muskie with a bad attitude. I was on the bow; it took off and wrapped around the stern. I did not control my fish. That was the most impressive lost fish of the day, but I managed to not catch others.
A cool catch was one that followed the lure to the boat and stayed with the figure eight thing but never ate, just hung out looking at it. Sam handed me light rod with a tube jig on it and had me just toss it out in front of it. That fish looked at that jig bouncing on the bottom, for over a minute before finally eating it. That was a fun catch on tackle I’d use for speckled trout. (I managed to not catch other fish on that jig but got this one).
