Man...to land a muskie with all those teeth on a dropshot...wow! You didn't mention the water level. Is it a full pool height yet?

Went out to Tapps yesterday in search of some smallmouth. The water was still pretty cold out there (47.5 by Allan York and a couple degrees warmer up on the other end of the lake). We were the only ones out fishing as far as I could tell. It didn't rain at all but man was it windy out there. Although we didn't get any smallmouth, we did end up with 2 muskies.
I caught mine on a white spinner bait. It was probably around 4 feet long or so. My girl got the other on a drop-shot of all things. Was about 3 feet long. She pulled that one up to the boat on some serious light tackle. That's the second time she has caught a muskie there on drop-shot.
Both fish were released back to be caught by someone else. We left shortly after that at around noon. No smallmouth, but I think I can live with a couple muskie.
