OK, I know size matters, but what is the smallest Muskie you have landed while fishing for Muskies? And, what lure did the little bugger hit?

My smallest was a 26" on a Bucktail.

I have caught lots of little guys fishing for crappies in the Spring, down to about 15".

I have caught a few sub 20" fish, usually when throwing small tube spinners or other small lures like that.

I've caught a couple around 14-15" on small bucktails, and even smaller pike and bass on huge baits.

My first musky was my smallest so far. Around 12 inches as I recall. Lake Vermilion?...12 inches? Something doesn't add up here...!

I've snagged lots of 2-3"ers. Smallest I've caught was a 16"er on a 2.5" thunderstick. Smallest on a musky lure was 18" on a 6" crane.

My smallest was one which was just a tiny bit larger than the 5" Slammer Crankbait that I was ripping! I think that He was trying to school up with my bait!
