>>480032God damn.. Novice at fishing here. I fell in love with the taste of pan fish last year so I went fishing today to try for some. Daytime was shit, nothing.
I went back at night and had only caught 1 crappie when something big hit my lure. Was jumping and I fought it for 45min before I even got it into the light, was a giant musky. To a novice like me this thing was massive and long. Line broke at the very end when it was in the shallows and it circled just out of reach. Never thought id get frustrated over a fish.. but that was more adrenaline than the small fish I only ever catch.. End of rant
I did eat my first self caught/cleaned crappie. Foil and herbs and butter and it was good over the campfire
