Default First Musky Caught Casting...55" and girthy.

Me and one of my friends went out, he usually trolls and does pretty well, today we where dating and he has never caught a ski casting.

To start the day he hooks two fish in the figure 8, something i have never done! and they get off boat side. remember he dosent really cast for muskie much.

Then BOOM 55" muskie ON for his first ever muskie caught casting.

i will let the video explain for itself.

Nice musky - you get many that size come fall when the water cools off.

Not sure about where these guys were fishing but my latest season musky was November 12. That was 1/2 hour out of Montreal on the St Lawrence.

That's a nice fish! Never caught a muskie myself but was with a friend in Ontario when he caught one -- I think it was only 13" long and hit a crankbait about half its size... kind of like a baby pike on a 'roid rage.

another awesome specimen. thanks for posting the vid link. net man comments again hey. have you been there? guess what. big fish, especially ones that haven't had a chance to tire don't just swim into the net. it ain't easy. bottom line, the fish was netted. great video and pictures were shot to commemorate the catch. the fish swims away. complete success in my mind.

MOM says that there was some pretty sloppy netting going on there and she is right.

Anyways, I was wondering about stuff I have heard about Muskies.

Do Muskie usually hunt in pairs, or is that just "Gill Fisher TV talk show" BS?

The water still looks pretty good for the hot summer you guys have had.

Haha! Sorry! I agree with Dace. You got it in the net. It's all good and your friend has some amazing memories from the trip. That's what matters.

Default Lake St. Clair

This is a small warm shallow lake that has more fish per acre than any other one in Canada, so claim my Biologist friends. It is on the seaway near Windsor and Detroit and as you can see produces lots of fish. There used to be a commercial fishery on the lake, I don't know about now.

Musky are found all through the southern great lakes and the St. Lawrence river.
