mistyriver1 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 I'm on my way back from Sioux lookout but was dying to put at least this report up. I've got some other pics to load and I'll do that when I get home. This past Monday, I had the pleasure of accompanying the owner of the lodge I stayed at and one of the guides for some musky fishing on Lac Seul. We headed out around 2:30. We tried a few spots and then came to another. I was throwing a topwater and saw this giant following it in. I said "I've got a follow" and the guide said "speed it up". I did and she followed it right to the boat. As soon as I started my figure 8 ......BANG ...SHE NAILED IT. My rod bent in half almost instantly and Greg (our guide) had the fish in the net. I let out a huge YAAAAAA and I had my biggest fish of my life. Here she is....52 inches and a 24 inch girth !!!!!! Back you go Big Girl...thanks for one of the greatest moments of my fishing life. We fished for a while after that and saw a total of 6 muskies that day. I lost another one but I did take some comfort in that she wasn't as big as the girl I landed. I went out with another guy from the lodge last night and we saw another 7 fish. I can't describe how good the fishing is here. I've certainly enjoyed my time here. Jim
yo_guy Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 WOW!!! that fish is a tank.... I've been wanting to go that lake for the muskies just haven't had the opportunity. So many places to fish and not enough time.
Musky or Specks Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 Infreakingcredible. Wonderful fish!!! Im so jealous!!! Now I hate you!!!
tdotfisherman Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 Gigantic is an understatement for that fish. I was up at Lac Seul this past May, but we only caught walleye, and no Musky. I wish I was in your shoes, great catch bud!
limeyangler Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 wow.....i mean WOW thats a monster! congrats.......me jealous i work in Sioux Lookout and fish Lac Seul fairly regularly for walleye ....looks like i'll have to buy me some musky gear....thanks for sharing.
MAzing Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 Greg and Linda really have the Lac Seul big muskies dialed in. Congrats on the pig and on a figure 8 as well.
Seaweed Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 Beauty fish for sure... They are truely magnificent at that size.
Roy Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 WTG Jim. That almost looks like a Larry fish. I'm glad she made your day. You're spoiled now...you'll be scoffing at low 40" fish.
