I just suck at everything (feeling sorry for myself)




Heres pictures of a pile of lures, a 33 inch Pike I caught last week in Anchor Bay and a smallmouth bass (both the pike and bass were caught musky trolling and caught on a 6" jointed Wiley Perch running 4oz/15ft on the down rod in the prop.

I've been on about a 50,000 hand losing streak which is making me want to rip my hair out. Some is running bad but I've played poorly at times. I busted my Full Tilt account and reloaded and played some today and lost 5 buy ins in 38 minutes which is just insane.

I've been putting a tun of effort into musky fishing this year. I awoke at 5:45 am (feel asleep at 2:30am) and headed down to launch in the Detroit River. We trolled basically from the mouth of the river to the Puce River in Canada for 5 hours, used at least 60 different colors, shapes, styles, models, etc of lures. I estimated that a low ball price for the tackle I bring is $5,000 ($20 a lure which is modest and many of them cost $35+). We ended up skunked yet again. I've had no luck on my side at all this season with the musky.
