Big Musky, Last night Ottawa River

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.

Big Musky, Last night Ottawa River

Post by DougEh »

Image

Trolling 6-8' , 4.5 -5 mph, twin blade buck tail (blue fox #10 blades).

No specs on fish as we wanted her back in ASAP. For reference though the beam of my boat is 70" and my buddy said she felt 40lbs (looks like his knees are gonna buckle :lol: ). My guess was 50" easy. Any Musky estimators out there? We got 4 more too but that one took the cake or a small dog.

All fish were released for others to catch another day.

Heckuva fish. My guess would be 51-52 inches, which is a beauty!
