urban cowboy Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Anyone here about any big fish boated this season??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Yep! Haven't you seen Mr Sondag's beast from Mille Lacs? Or the gals from up in Canada? - Not Linda Rice this time! A guy I know got a 55" up in Canada on Pipestone. Also a very big I believe metro area fish that is being kept low key. Also a 58" from thinking St Lawrence or Georgian bay that should make an appearance in Muskies Inc soon. Might be some more, but I'm late to hit Holcombe!

Nick Kuhn Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I've seen and heard of quite a few in the low 50's. Haven't heard of anything that really stands out. But prime time for huge fish is still a few weeks off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quackaddict9 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Well, I heard of a really really big fish in canada, supposedly the stories being released soon. Cooter, where can i see sondag's biggie? He has a big one on his knilyksum (read <--) but he has several over 50" from this year as well.

Fish&Fowl Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 People haha. I may have a little insight into that fish that's why I asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slabbin@thecabin Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 If you think 55" is big, it was caught on a metro lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntBigFish Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 O ok, but yeah i don't think the guy wants it spread yet so i won't say anything, looking forward to the story though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooter Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I wonder just how many big ones get caught and manage to stay under the radar each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban cowboy Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 Redig, Big bro... Big as in big. Like monster big, like a few a year big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagerBeaver Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Define big. big –adjective 1. large, as in size, height, width, or amount: a big house; a big quantity. pretty straight forward there Redig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Front Pooch Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I know a little about a little... Its a long SOB... very long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRedig Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I just got a pic of a 54 x 25'er. 2nd one I know of from this lake within 2 weeks or so. The only reason I said define big is that i know people who think anything over 50 is big...not that it isn't, but i'd wager a post like this is looking for 54-55+.

iceman1212 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 JRedig- just out of curiosity, do you drive a blue chevy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIke A Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I've seen a few nice ones come off of Mille Lacs. Ranging from 40 to 53 being the biggest I've seen. I have yet to pull one off this year, but I've only been fishin the muskies a couple of times, focusing on the great walleye bite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 See the latest Muskies Inc mag yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsondag Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Saw my name mentioned here so I thought I should pipe in. We have boated several in the 50 - 53.5 inch range this season. Which I consider giants. Even though I live and fish in MN I haven't been infected with the "Mille-Verm" virus that inexplicably makes you refer to a 45 inch fish as a "Peanut" or a 51 as just a "good fish." The biggest fish I know of from this season... Other than the mystical 60+ inchers that are caught by crappie fisherman every year Are Greg Marino's 56.25" up at Lac Seul. And a pair of 58's and change out of the Ottawa and the Larry. Hopefully I'll see a fish like those soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRedig Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 JRedig- just out of curiosity, do you drive a blue chevy? Dark blue, yep. Well...when my wife isn't playing bumper cars with it I am... Where'd ya see me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie456 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 jsondag,Thank you! I agree 100% a 50+ inch fish are giants. I think 45+ a dandys. I heard Richard Pearson talk at one of these muskie shows a couple years ago and he referred to anything over 45" to be "Big ones". I found that refreshing. Sorry to get off topic.

JRedig Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Make that 3 54 inchers, just found out about another one and we had a 50.5 visit my net the other night that was pushing 23-24 in girth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
