{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Smell that musk

Joe,

Good theory on the musky eating a bass. I kinda wish it was that scenario, cuz that would be epic. When the line went tight initially, I thought I was stuck on the bottom as that had already happened numerous times. Then the bottom started moving. So, I think it was the musky from the get-go. I was floating in a single kayak, another friend was in a single, and Kami was with his wife in a tandem kayak. We were just winging it this past weekend, but I'd love to fish with Matt sometime in the future. I think he guides on the New River as well as the James.

Charlie,

Yeah, I hooked the fish in a deep hole. We ferry'd it over to a nearby island in a borrowed net to get the fish in hand.  Not surprisingly, the musky broke the net on the first attempt. It must have looked like a circus of fools to any onlookers.  The final score: three kayaks, one net assist from friendly strangers, two net attempts -- it took a village to land this one.  We did paddle over another musky, larger than the one I landed, later in the float that was in relatively shallow water (guessing ~5-6 ft deep).
