| Hi,
I caught my first legal muskie back in 1978 and I've never looked back. For some insane reason I've always found these fish something special. I've never caught that magic 50" but have been lucky enough to catch lots of mid and upper 40" fish. I love to catch fish but even more satisfying is watching a new angler catch his or her first fish. Man this is a great sport. Good luck this season everyone.
Thanks
Dave |

| Been fishing for these fish for 23 years and counting. Never hit the 50" or bigger mark....yet. Biggest to date: 48" x 23" @ 32 lbs.
Still having a blast regardless. I don't have to have a 50 in my lifetime either....I'll still have a blast all the same. 
Would I LIKE a 50+ inch? Well sure! But it's not needed. I just enjoy my time on the water and being away from work. Catching fish is just an added bonus no mater what size or species it is. |
