tonka-toy Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) Looking back at the largest fish over the years, I've noticed that the larger they were, the flatter their backs became. The largest musky I have ever seen (landed by a friend in my boat) was completly flat on top from the head to the tail. I believe if we had flipped her over on the deck she wouldn't have rolled over. I have only seen it on fish we have caught on Georgian Bay and on those say longer than 45". Has anyone else noticed this and anybody know if it may be specific to the area we fish or common on all large muskys? ge Edited July 23, 2008 by tonka-toy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNODDY Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I kinda know what your talking about. I have seen this on some of my bigger fish but haven't reached that 50" club yet. My biggest is 48" and I can't remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctrt Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I have some idea of what you're talking about!! I've caught 2 with the shovel head and flat back. No room to get any taller at a certain point, so they just get thicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
