Default Fish on custom lures

A buddy and I were out a week or so ago and had some great action chasing the muskies. He caught two and I lost another. Both of his fish came on a 6" crankbait in Fire Perch. His first fish in the timber was around 41" and the second was in the 42" range. We didn't take the time to accurately measure them, just wanted to get them back in the water ASAP. There's nothin' like catching fish on homemade lures!!!

Anyone else have some pictures to share?

This was Josh's first fish. She was hiding back in a bay in the standing timber.


His second fish came across the lake from the first in a protected bay. She was laying right on the weed line. A real fatty!

That has got to be the best feeling ever when you catch a trophy fish on your own baits.Great job.

Awesome fish both of them Jeremy! Theres nothing like the feeling of fish being caught on your home build lures! My brother Dave caught this hog yesterday in a tournament at Pyma. The fish was 52" 38 lbs and grabbed a clown pattern Hammer lure that I build.

rjbass, those are some sweet lures! I'll bet those 'eyes were tasty!

ShutUpNFish, that is a pig of a musky. She looks like she was eating well.

bassinjody, best picture so far!

Dad and I went out fishing yesterday. The muskies wouldn't eat, but a few pike did.

Nice job Bowhunter! Thanks for sharing the pics! I'm new at making baits and get a kick out of seeing this stuff. Love that perch pattern.
RJ Bass- those baits are awesome!!! It just doesn't get any better than catching fish on your own lures.

I was out fighting the crowds today and got this 34 incher on my prism walleye glider. I always like the photos with the fish in the net with a face full of trebles!





The scowl was because of all the idiot skiers doing drive by's!!!
