No I'm not talking about that sappy 70s song. I was playing my 'small ball' game on my little rivers and lakes again this season for musky and I think I go reunited with this hottie from September 2015. Same dam and I think the same turbine gate, parked right in the corner of the arch.
Here's a link to that September 2015 post: https://www.windycityfishing.com/forums ... ly#p539370
Here's a picture of her from 3 years ago, she could be a male for all I know about esox. Notice the messed up lower jaw and dark mark on the edge of her gill plate.
8/23/18 - I think she's the same ski and like me she's put on a few pounds as well but it looks better on her. Messed up lower jaw and similar markings on the gill plate?
I don't know if she reminds me of Edna Bukowski, no relation to Charles but they both liked to drink, when we had romantic getaways at the Apache on Lincoln Avenue... No this could be a glamour shot of Rosie O'donnell and me as we shopped at Moo & Oink.
Anyway skis still get the blood pumping and this 4" swimbait did the trick twice this week. It was a pure reaction bite, she slammed the lure in less than a second.
I love my small little waters up north, this is the 3rd time I've caught the same fish twice, once it was 30 minutes later for a smallie, 1 year later for a pike and this time almost 3 years later for a ski. I don't catch monster fish hence the name 'small ball' but action is decent and 95% of time I'm the only angler present.
