Default First Musky!

About time. Yesterday, I was fishing on Arrowhead Lake in Vilas County, Wisconsin. I was fishing with a blue and silver tinsel Jerries Girl. This guy came up, and I went into the figure 8, and it hit right there at boatside. This fish had some gill damage, because he was caught before. This pic makes me look like I'm Chinese or something

Length- 37 inches
Weight- About 15 Ibs.

Congrats on the fish! It does seem like it takes forever to get that first Musky in the boat. I caught my first out of Big Sand Lake in Vilas County. It is really beautiful up there.

I've heard of Big Sand, never been to it though. I have been to North and South Twin though.

Congrats on a great catch. Several of the lakes around me have musky in them but I have yet to ever catch one. Would be neat to do at least once!
