I don't know if this was posted before, but Chad Cain with a nice fish anyway.

Rain and warm weather has spurred the start of muskie mania across Illinois.
Anglers have already been out in force for days at Kinkaid Lake, where guide Chad Cain (pictured above) boated his largest muskie ever last Saturday.
Cain said the fish measured 49 7/8 inches and had a girth of 25.5 inches.
At first, he thought the big fish might exceed the state record of 38 pounds, 8 ounces.
So a fisheries biologist was summoned to weigh the fish on a certified scale. But the fish weighed 37.4 pounds. Cain released the muskie. He wrote, “Still a great fish, though, and it was great to see her swim away.”

Location: Bemidji, Lake Vermilion		Beautiful fish Chad. Wish I was able to get on some MN monsters like right now!! Wishful thinking. Maybe I'll see you in the greater Bemidji area this summer (we've talked a few times on the water in the last couple summers).

Location: Land O' Lakes WI		This is a really nice fish. Not his biggest ever,,, I hear he has many over 50 from MN, but probably his biggest on Kincaid. I wish he would have broken the record, but I am biased.

I fished with him last year. He works hard to put his people on fish. We had a four fish day and only fished 4 hours or so. The best part was that not only does he work hard he treated us great. Like family.
