Hello All,
Some may have heard, but my good friend Christine Cope landed a monster 55" muskie this past Saturday while fishing Lake St. Clair. Not only is this fish long, but it is FAT and such a clean-looking specimen.
I put together a short write-up (with pics) detailing the catch after talking with Christine on Monday. You can find it here:

Good Fishing,
Justin

thanks for this kind words fellas! I couldn't have caught this without the help of Darryll. It takes a true team to find and land a big fish like that! We seem to be able to find fish whenever we get our together either his boat or mine

I had to copy the photo to zoom in and study it for true appreciation. The head on this fish is intimidating and beastly! Why do you think Lake St. Clair muskies have that distinct spotting versus the greenish banding seen on most musky photos? Sincere congrats on catching and releasing this magnificent fish! Any video??
