Sorry I’m so late it was a busy day.. anyway Pizzaman and I hit the pond about 7:00 and it was really a fun day the perch were bigger and hungry, lots of hits. Crappie also found my hook, they don’t play by the Pineview book though, they were about a foot off bottom and seemed to be hungry. Well I think I had 20 something perch with all over 7” today and most around 9”. Could have got a lot more, but I played around with different rigs. Burly came and joined us at sunup and we had a nice visit and I got the call that my daughter was about to go to her in-laws so get home in an hour. I figured I had half hour and I’d only been catching 7”ers  on my gizzy bug (which btw every time I got it to the bottom I got a hit on the first or second jig. It was a guaranteed fish no question but smallest fish I got all morning..) Anyway, wanting bigger fish, I put a flutter spoon and a little piece of perch and dropped it down. I jigged it once then went to lift it again and got smashed with the hardest hit all year. After my reel screaming as line was getting peeled of it, I finally got a little positive ground and started pleading for help. Burly came to my rescue and got my transducer out of the hole and then when I finally wore the fish down Burley grabbed it in the mouth to let it bite his gloves so he could pull the tiger out of the water. He did perfect and as soon as it was on the deck it cut my line. Well Burly didnt notice at the time, but the Musky really chewed up his hand even through those thick gloves he had on. Sorry Burly those bloody fingers looked really sore. Anyway, this was my first Tiger and thanks to good help I got it landed. Not a monster but for me I was really happy 31.5”. Thanks Ira and Burly you guys really helped make a great trip. Later Jeff
