Not a big fatty (the fisherman, maybe), but thought I'd submit this one due to the awesome sunset in the background.

Jason Smith and I had a good morning on Saturday. We boated a 46", 47", and a 48" all before noon. I personally had never put two fish in the boat over 45" in one day. What a blast!

Muskyhound,

What a nice fish, but you are right, it looks like she skipped a few meals! Good catch none the less!!!

She must not realize that skinny is not in, and fat girls are what we like to look at!!!!

Here is a picture of my 48"er that Kevin Mahlberg tried to post. Hey Partner. I don't know if I said it or not but thanks for getting the net under her and taking great pics. I really appreciate it. I can't wait to return the favor. I hope it's real soon.

I have a feeling that the winning picture isnt going to be a fish unless it's a 50" caught at the Kly outting.....I was hoping that a group shot of everybody participating would win the cover...we'll see

Here is a big girl I got hooked up with in the Ottawa River in Ontario Canada during the full moon period of September. The river was on fire with plenty of big muskie being caught. If this is any indication the full moon in October could produce a true monster up here this year. There is rumour of a new world record fish having been caught up here but as we all know it won`t be verified until the end of the year... that is just the way they do things up here for some reason. It is rumoured to have come off the Larry in the St. Lawrence where a couple of true bigguns were caught in November last year.

Enjoyed fighting this girl though and she still swims the shallows in search of fat suckers. She was caught on a hunters orange and black spinner bait made by Lindy. She was 48" and I didn`t get a girth or weight. Not much fight due to the fact that she was shallow but she did tear off some line for a couple of good runs. I kept her close because of the stump field I was in. I guess you could say I got lucky with this one.

that monster was a 40# class fish, from what I hear. Haven't seen the photos yet but big heavy's are coming in by the week. I have a feeling the WR is gonna be broken this year (I called it first remember!). There have been alot of fish that have not been talked about as well (like every year). A couple of 50#'s for sure have been caught and many more to come I hope.

OK, not a fattie thats cover worthy, but it is a good picture of what a fall fishing day should be! WIND, sleet, Colors, lots of clothes...and a fish caught on a sucker.

Here's another giant from central PA. My friend Herb Bloxsom caught and released this 49"er with a 24" girth casting a Wiley crank last night! She was caught 100 yds. from where I boated my 30 lb fish this summer.

Incredible fish as usual.
Joshua's face-to-face shot gets my vote so far. Great color, composition, and creativity.

Here are a couple shots of my wife from this past Friday while fishing the foggiest conditions I've ever seen.  The foggy picture was taken at noon with shore no more than 20 yards away.  We could actually cast out of our visibility that day.  she got this fish on a Rylur topwater just after dark(boatside hit, so she was quite surprised).  It was her biggest of the season, and maybe the heaviest she's ever gotten, so she is still adrenaline buzzed this very minute!
