it took me about 5 seconds to get that pic up as my new desktop background.
way cool.

of course, someone forget to send those Leechers the memo that they're supposed to be spawning out in some deeper water...
just kidding! just kidding!

I reckon they are both females, too similar in size to be both male and female. Pre spawn maybe?

Chico- you might be right- you know how the female's of the human species always seem to have to hang out together, even going to the john when you're out on a date w/ another couple (pre-sexual activity). Maybe muskies have a similar prediliction as the urge to spawn comes on!

Nice photo-

Have fun!

That is awesome! I heading to the Longville area this weekend, anyone know if they are still netting walleyes for the eggs on Woman Lake. I would love to take the kids to see it.

Totally cool picture. I am curious as to what size a female is big enough to start reproducing? Is it age? Or size that triggers reproduction?

MuskieMike,

Muskies normally reach spawning age after 3 years ~ about 35 inches in length here in Illinois.
I can't speak for other states.

How do you guys know that they are Leech Lake strain???????

Did you know that Mlle Lacs was planted with muskies from WI's Kallepp's Fish Farm? They took eggs from Lac Courte Oreilles and this stocking took place from 1984 thru 1987.

I read this in the latest WI Outdoor News in an article by Dean Bortz called "On the Trail"

Just talked to the person that took the picture as i was curious about the size because the fish looked so thick.
Both of those buggers are 48 plus. Figured from the thickness that they were longer than they look in the picture. #*^@ , i wish the season was underway....

Seems those two could be a female and a male. Males can get up to 45 inches and that could be about the size of the two fish. It could just be an older male with a middle-age female. Not that unusual in the human species of course, except the older male human usually needs lots of money to attract a younger female. Or at least must be a good cook and house cleaner.

Awesome picture!

How big are those rocks in the background?

Since that is Mille Lacs, and those are MN Muskies, I am guessing they are the size of a VW Bug, and those fish are somewhere in the neighborhood of 32 feet long...

Male muskies can get bigger than you may think. There's a Minnesota lake that has had muskies for less than 20 years. The DNR netted a male musky out there this spring that was just a hair under 48". This is probably pretty close to as big as you'll see. But they can get big too!

FYI: For what it's worth, I know of a 52 inch male caught up on the French River.

A 52 inch male Muskie? Wow! That is huge for a male. Makes one wonder how big the females are in that river.

52 is huge for any muskie!! a male?? that'd be a freak right??


In response to Hulbert

Indeed the "Yeti" could have been tried.

I would have tried a stungun on a broomhandle though.

Cool picture Thanks for sharing, and it's great to know that Mille Lacs is having some natural reproduction too. Muskie Porn, it doesn't get any better than this.
