The Art of Eat

Targhee:
"Big musky right here, Derek!" (5 ft off starboard)

Derek, holding his fly in hand, pitched it low and inside.  Apparently, exactly how this heavy hitter likes them.

Cortney:
"Don't blow it!"

Derek:
"Like that!"

After Derek's fly splat on the surface, the Musky disappeared into the depths.
Derek stripped the fly once!
Rushing up from darkness came this monstrosity of a fish!
This Musky, quite astute in "the Art of Eat," had taken a page from the Great White killers off Cape Town South Africa.
The Musky sounded to depth from where it could ambush from below with devastating speed.
As it ate, the Musky inverted itself at the surface .  Nearly four feet of bleached Musky belly flashed as the fish turned to the depths with a mouth full of deception.
Writ can not convey the explosion of this scenario.
41 seconds it has taken me to read the latter description (I'm a bit dense.)
When in reality it happened, "As Sudden As Death!" Quote from Will Ryan
Boom!  High Fives, memories and photographs!  When dreams materialize!

If you'd like to see some real photography check out Cortney Boice's/Blue Halo Gear work on his Blue Halo FaceBook Page or you can find them and all things fish at OutSmartingFish.  These boys do great work with rods, lenses, and interwebs.  Thanks for sharing the boat fellas!
