Your big Musky

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

This thread lead me to have a look through the muskie photos and I think one of them is in the wrong spot... #112 of 217 (John?)... I am pretty sure that's a pike...

cheers,

I love looking at musky pictures. Does anyone have any more?

This is a picture a lot of people here have seen, but here is me and my Mom with my 1st (and so far only) tiger musky. I couldn't stop smiling for hours afterwards. I want to catch lots more!

This fish was caught on a Bomber Long A and it was at Otisco Lake, New York.

I remember that pic and the post, Bowzog! Nice fish and love that you can still see the little yellow jig in its mouth. Jigging for musky -- not to be dismissed!!

Biggest Musky

Post by SKEET544 »

My biggest last year was 51" on Moira lake with a black orange homemade spinnerbait. My personal best is 52 1/2" followed closely by my wife's 52" which was caught from a canoe with about six inches of line out. A strike and fight we will both never forget!

Skeet,

I used to go to Moira Lake with my family many years ago. We stayed in a rented (pink!) cottage right on the lake. We had some great times and very good fishing there. Never did get a musky there, as back then I didn't know much about them! I do remember seeing what I thought was a verrrry large pike along a weed bed; now I wonder if I saw a musky.

Good memories...

Biggest for me is a pair of 52"s, pre-digital camera days

One caught in rocks/weeds with a muskie killer - July

The other on an ugly Suick of shallow rocks.

Here is my biggest since getting a digital, 49"x 22" Sept 04.....I think the camera has cursed me :wink: :D

Hey Tiny Torpedo nice pic of a beautiful Hybrid, I think I'm gonna nickname you and your mom the Hybrid Slayers. Good work and your off to a great start.
Wolf if you thought you saw a BIG Pike in Moira I would bet my money it was a Musky I've never seen or heard of one much over 5 pounds there, to many Musky.

Also,
I got my first 'through the ice' muskie this past Sunday and what a thrill it was! Only got her half way through the hole though. She was protesting big time and bit through the braid and away she went. We will meet again :mrgreen:
