Hey Muskie Kid and the boys,
I got my first muskie ever sunday afternoon.A real nice 40".I was
so dam freaked out I didnt get the weight or girth.It was a healthy
fish though.Kinda dark and drab colored,my buddy said maybe it was
a male.I dont care,I was so pumped I could have kicked supermans
#####!!!I got a couple photos and let it go,so it can grow.Ill catch
it again in a couple years and maybe hit the 44+ range!

ps-for all you first timers,hang on to your #####!!

Way to GO, kid:
The first one's the toughest to get; once you get past that hump the rest is easy. Like anything in musky fishing is easy, right?! Congrats, savor the memory - it'll last a lifetime.

Kid- Congrat's on your first. Cherish the memory as now you are dooooooooomed to the lifetime feast & famine of Muskie fishing addiction. There is no known cure, so my best advice is to keep your lures wet and enjoy the time on the water. Yahhooo fish on!!!!

Got my first earlier this year. Mine was also 40". Took me a year to get one. I've boated a few since. Completely addicted and looking for bigger ones. Learned alot in the year of no fish.

Thanks guys!
Im still getty about it.Im like a hero at work with the boyz.The
photos were with a instant camera so I cant post them(no scanner yet)
I recommend at least a instant camera for any muskie fisherman!!
I absolutly cant imagine what a 50" 40+ pound fish would be like.

good luck all,
-Kid Coulson
