Anyone have any interesting fish stories?
I went to Quebec Canada for a fishing trip with Caesers Lodge outfitter. I was stupid enough to buy the as seen on TV banjo minnow which turned out to be the best working bait used during the entire trip. On the secound night we came to this cove and I put on a glow in the dark banjo minnow. On the first cast I through it far into the brush and thought I got stuck. I came to relize that I had a large pike. I got it in the boat and measured it. It was 42 inches and 30 pounds, biggest fish I have caught so far.

A 42" pike is more likely 22lbs, but still a huge pike!
No crazy stories for me this year, but I heard about a guy that fell out of his boat while landing a musky, luckily his friends were nearby and helped him out..I guess he was about neck deep and somehow held onto both the rod and net and got this fish!
Last fall I trolled over a shallow spot and put the motor in neutral to do a weed check. I grabbed the rod out of the holder and took half a turn of the reel when the rod has almost taken out of my hands! While netting the fish alone, I hooked the lure to the rim of the net....I reversed the net bag on about the 3rd try and got it! That musky was a 50 incher and I released it after measuring it.

Here's an ironic story.
I have a boat and fish all the time. We practically lived on the boat during the warmer months fishing twice a day, mornings and evenings.
To have a change of pace, we decide to go camping and select a nice spot on the water. I get up at around 5AM and start fishing with my ultra-light rod and real. I'm catching nothing but small fish so switch from lure to a small piece of crawler and bottom fishing.
What you know, I hook the largest bass I ever caught by my scale 9.1 lbs on the bottom no less.
It was interesting how nobody was around at all but as I was fighting the beast and after I landed it, there was a number of people there commenting or wanting their picture taken with the fish. Its like they came out of the woodwork.
