Consolation prize

I spent a couple days at Cass Lake, visiting my brother and his family who were up from Texas. Yesterday, I snuck out for a couple hours of muskie fishing in Allens Bay.

I threw bucktails and deep running crank baits. No response from the big girls.

I did manage to snare this little northern with a pearl Shad Rap. She was swimming along a deep weed edge near Big Potato Island and, as my lure passed into her field of vision, was seized by an impulse she came to regret.
