Here is a big fattie that really gave me a great ride in COLD windy weather and BIG waves!!! Who ever said that WI still didn't have 50"ers left in her? Just go to one of the lakes where they have started to release the 40"ers. This fish was a PIG!!!

The above picture along with this second one was supposed to be in the october contest, but it wouldn't post there. Here is another big fattie caught the same day! She went alittle longer, but not as thick. 51" of pure FUN!

Thanks! I think it may be tough for me to top catching two 50" fish in one day again. Now I guess I have to shoot for three 50"ers in one day?!?!?!?!?!?! SLAMR, could you put these on the OCTOBER fish contest for me? Thanks. Have a great fall, I will be trying for some more thats for SURE! Cast-n-Blast.

BIG waves? man i'd hate to see what you'd think of a lake like mille lacs when it gets rough out there. it would be like the perfect storm movie!!
congrats on 2 terrific fish!!!!!

Well, the waves on the side of the lake I caught the fish were not a bad as the end that was getting pounded. Not like the Mille Lacs rollers I've seen, but sure made boat control a tough situation at times with 25 mph WSW winds. Many of the other fisherman did not stay out on the water for very long, but we toughed it out and it paid off.

If you could let me know what lakes you were on I would really appreciate it. I have been fishing for
5 years and havent even seen a 50 incher or anything even close.

GPS coordinates would be ideal. Im serious.

Nice fish!!

We were over in NW 'sconi fishing a lake that has frustrated the hell out of me many times, but I know there is true trophy potential there. I have learned not to give up on certain lakes and it's no longer even a phrase in my vocabulary. I would personally like to thank the guide who I've hired out a couple times who helped me that day and truly earned every cent of his dollars as he is excellent. Eric Genson of Genson's fish hunts will work as hard as any guide to get you into the fish. He guides Hayward area and knows many bodies of water. I highly recommend him. We fished areas that I've fished on the lake we were at a thousand times, and even still, I learned how to fish those areas better. You can never know it all, and when you claim to, it's time to quit this sport. We were quick-striking suckers and casting spinnerbaits, bulldawgs, gliders, even a bit of topwater, stop and start jerks, and bucktails. One fish on a QS, one on a spinnerbait. A shumway funky chicken!!! Thanks Bruce shumway for making a sweet spinnerbait! Thanks again Eric for a fabulous day of learning and catching. Guides are worth every penny and if you fish with the right one, you just don't know what will happen. Best musky money I've ever spent!

Wisconsin is comin around to the Minnesota side! Bigger size restrictions will increase the size of some of the fish, and education + CPR will do the rest! Nice fish. Both states need to learn from each other and quit fighting over traditions and stubborness of how Muskie fishing should be! Have a great year fishing! I am jealous!
