Location: SE Wisconsin | I adore specific characteristics of muskies, and have on occasion seen all these characters built into individual fish that take my breath away when I see pictures. . . Some fish are orange-ish or greenish, and some are greyish. Amongst these colors are well defined bars, some spotted, some no-barred. What to you makes up the prettiest musky, and can we please see it? I'll post one tonight, but I'll admit, the fish that trips my trigger has never met me face to face. . . I'll have to ask a couple guys to post their fish that I admire so much, too. Edited by Sam Ubl 12/21/2009 4:17 PM | ||

Posts: 717 Location: Grand Rapids, MI | Sometimes, it seems that the smallest muskies have the prettiest markings. Here's one that is literally the smallest ski I've ever caught. And it happens to be my Dad's first that he's ever seen. The colors just seem to really pop on this one. Notice how even the fins have some spots on them. This strain of fish is actually a Northern strain and grows up to have only bars. Attachments ---------------- 100_2435 - Copy.JPG (127KB - 145 downloads) | ||

Location: SE Wisconsin | I like the white edging on the fins, it reminds me of a brookie. This fish is as pretty as I've had in my boat, but still not my ideal | ||

Posts: 41 Location: Oregon, IL | Got this pretty looking 43.5 1 year ago. I also caught this same fish this fall and was glad to see that eye healed up real nice. The scars have also healed up a bit.

| This is a fish I chased for a few days two years ago. It was a healthy 51 caught on a metro MN lake by Hammskie. I have never seen another like it! It had tiny spots all the way up to the cheeks and was almost completely silver with a very light greenish/teal back. There is almost no contrast between the white belly and the main body silver. Also the fins were more orange than red. By far, the most beautiful muskie I've seen and very unique. Attachments ---------------- Snowy Shores.JPG (31KB - 142 downloads) | |||
