Muskie Photo Gallery

[Tattooer]

Very nice fish pics everyone.

I'm brand new to this forum, mostly due to my new found admiration of Sturgeon Fishing.

I started Muskie fishing in 2007 and have been completely addicted ever since. I broke some ribs early this season and it's just been to hard throwing big lures all day (hence my interest in the Sturgeon).

I fish (or should say fished) Muskies alone and from shore. That makes getting the picture a little tricky so I'm sorry for the quality.

I also don't measure my fish anymore so I don't have specific details to share. It seems like when I did measure them during my first season, it was like an invitation for criticism. The length or weight doesn't really matter to me. I'm perfectly content with the experience and the successful release.

Here are a few from my early season. A few of them were caught after I broke my ribs. That might explain why I'm having trouble holding them for the photos.

Some more nice fish from Lake Vermilion in the last week. The super tanker size hasn't been there for us recently on caught fish, but they are definitely being seen and moved. Forgive the dates on the pics, clearly its not January but doggone camera really sucks and date gets defaulted all the time.

Steve with a 44.5incher.

Jeremy with a 44.

Jeremy with a 42.

Jason with a 46.25.

Jeremy showing he's human and can catch smaller fish. This might be his only sub 40inch all year though. Its 35in.

3 in the boat over the weekend...all 3 on the same cowgirl...

My 42" - it was a super slow day..only one lazy follow and after 7 hours of almost nothing your mind wears on you and we decided to call it a night...I called "last cast" and she hit 10 feet from the boat...haha! Love it!

The next night it was my buddies turn....his new PB! 48X21...fatty!!!!! We were both throwing the same color cowgirl and on both of these fish the baits hit the water at relatively the same time about 20 feet apart....that lucky SOB!hahaha!

An hour later we cruised back through the spot where the 48 hit and he stuck this 46!

Mr. Thomas Allen himself makes and appearance on FM, was happy to hear to news over the weekend - big fish, nice guy. I know the SECRET color!!! Good things happen when you switch from a bad lake to a good lake.

Good work, guys. I pity the foo that lives in Iowa and doesn't get to fish MN muskies very often.

He says the same about me and not getting to hunt huge Iowa bucks very often any more.

Hey tatooer, nice fish, and from shore too! Muskie are hard enough to come by, let alone the fact that you don't have a boat to hole-hop in.

Here is my new personal best at 52"

I really like fishing from shore. Most of the serious waters in my area are surrounded by private property. If I were to fish the Muskie hot spots, I'd be stuck at a boat launch with to much

traffic.

My spots that I hike in to are very secluded and quiet. I like it that way. (less pressure).

One more in the boat last night right at twilight....she rocketed from under the boat and smoked the DCG just as I was starting the 8....it was AWESOME!

Can't resist posting this pic that was taken a little before she hit....

That is a real nice picture of the 50. I was gonna buy a MI rod but not after reading that

[JRedig]

I know for a fact that thorne quit selling MI rods due to snapping, i've witnessed it happen in my own boat as well...on a 21 inch pike no less....

From over the weekend in Minnesota. Fishing in shorts and mid 70's. Today it's 58 with 25 MPH NW winds.

[jcpmn82]

I caught a 62" musky, but I was alone and forgot my camera.

[ZEEK1223]

Finally broke my slump.....I am still waiting for a fish over 40.....maybe this fall.

[jclund]

Caught a small 32 incher and then 5 casts later this fat 50 incher couldn't resist a small spinner. Fishing in bad weather finally pays off.
