northamfishing Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) This pig hammered my 1oz. hand made spinnerbait at around 7pm. I was burning the spinnerbait, when it hit. I set the hook and it cleared the water by about 3 feet. What a memory! After a few quick pictures back in she went to fight another day! This fish was caught on Georgian Bay. Unfortunately, I didn't have all the equipment to measure and weigh it. It's up to the imagination to how long and how much it weighed, girth etc... My buddy is a hardcore musky fishermen and he guessed about 50-55" in length, maybe 55-60lbs. Edited September 2, 2008 by Northamfishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Clemens Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Measured/Weighed or not, that's one huge musky in anyone's book. Congrats on such a fine catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
