My buddy @Harps has been on a mission to catch a musky on a fly rod. So he texts me the other day and asked if I wanted to go with him. I was down for going but the whole musky on a fly rod thing has turned out to be quite boring for me so I only took a couple of bait casters and determined that while he searched for the impossible musky I would search for the impossible big green bass.

 The S.S. Harper

Started out with a spinnerbait in the brush. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Probably rode that pony way too long but I was hoping for a spinnerbait bite. Tried flipping up into the brush as well as dragging the old shore line. Nope. 

So I made a change to one of my all time favorites. It paid off pretty quick.

 

The fishing definitely wasn't on fire but caught enough to keep it interesting. Had one toad of a bass come around the front of a bush and take my offering but I blew it. Figured that was my only shot at a big green one but a while later I was given another shot.

 

 

This old gal measured 23 inches. Didn't get a weight on her but she was completely spawned out.

No muskies were seen or harmed during this adventure.

Nice one! Ol Pinky did the trick seems like. Hoping to get out sunday in the old tin bottom.

Of blown chances: I blew my one opportunity at the musky so far.....

It'll be boring until I stab one in the face. Then it will be chaos most likely......

That was a hell of a good fish Smalliefly. (beers clinking emoticon)

Then it will be boring again.

Thanks for the net job! And the boat ride.
