Hey Doug,

Good Luck, you certainly deserve that 50 incher! I am still pinching myself from the 42.5 inch and the 40.5 inch back to back Pike caught in Canada! I can only imagine bringing up a 50 inch Tiger or regular Musky for that matter. Well I will be out trying to get a good friend of mine and my little man there very first Pike in Idaho and hopefully there very first Tigers on either Silver or Newman on our way home this weekend. I will let you know how it goes, I am hoping to bring a few new Pike/Musky Anglers to the great sport we all work so hard at year in and year out! Tight Lines!

Nate

No kidding, I think she had fun seeing all those fish today! All that Porpoising is pretty entertaining. Even with only 1 fish in the boat it was a blast!

We did not get out in the boat on Saturday as we didnt get arrived and settled in till about 4:00 and had other things to do. Sunday we went out early and came back after it started pouring hard. I'm sitting in the cabin right now watching a monsoon roll through. That fish looks like it was caught pretty close to where we are staying! Nice one! I've been throwing Bucks and Topwaters with no success. Seen a few fish, not a lot though. Going to pound it hard the next few days as the rain and wind lets up. I am knocking the Smallmouth dead though ](*,)

Cool. Too bad we couldn't meet up. Good luck this week, and I'm looking forward to the report.
