This is the 2000 Muskie page.

2000 was my first season chasing Muskies. I first gave it a try in August. After losing several fish due to improper tackle and inexperience, I started catching on. Unfortunately, of the 7 decent sized muskies we hooked, I was only able to get the smallest 3 in the boat. But in 2001 I'll be a little wiser and a lot better prepared. I'll be heading out with braided line, leaders, and a muskie cradle.

Joe Wakeman (red shirt) takes the top spot with this 34 incher. I've got the whole 4 minute battle on video tape. He was caught on a specially rigged spinnerbait.
