Conditions Were Ripe

The clouds and weather set up for a perfect evening of muskie fishing on Lake Minnetonka.  I saw what the weather was doing and told myself I have to get on the lake to try and catch a few toothy critters!  As you can see we were succesful at catching a toothy critter...oh wait...we caught two!  I also went back to an area where I have been seeing a giant and saw her again tonight!  Big Bertha followed all the way to the boat but did not eat.  This fish is a true giant and I hope she will be posing for fishwithmatt.com ever so soon.  Stay tuned here for more reports and pictures.  I have a great streak of fish going and am not going to quit until I post the pics of big bertha.   

Joe boated this great fish right at dark.  It measured 41" and fell victim to a black cow girl that yours truely customized for Joe before he started throwing it.  I don't think he will ever go fishing again with out a black sharpie in his boat.  It makes for a great marker when it comes time to paint a bait or blade.
