View Full Version : Muskie by Mistake

Took my brother out on his first walleye trip in front of Gino's yesterday. After a couple hours with only one walleye, he hooked into her. Fifteen minutes and a few nice jumps later had the muskie in the net and snapped this pic. Took a good few minutes to revive, but ended up taking off nicely.
Based on the 49" 25lber I got mounted 17 years ago, I estimate this one to be close to 30lbs due to her length of over 50".

Ended up with five walleye for the day as well.

awsome fish


monday as we were trolling if front of the spillway a muskie jumped right next to the boat-about a foot away and 3 feet high. it was funny-we kept saying if he jumped the other way it would have landed in the boat-it was only about 32 inches- a little one :)

Nice fish Hotwired. Looks like a 50" 28lber to me. Me and a buddy fished Friday 5/30 from 4-8PM. ended up with 12 (all 2'-4'). we lost 6 fish on the way up 10'-15' off the bottom. Have lost fish like that many times, but not that many half way up on same day. They were snappin pretty good prior to front.

Great looking fish and gone off to swim some more - hope it's my turn when the season comes around. Wow - someone said it, the grin is bigger than the fish. Congratulations.
