Georgian Bay 50" Musky Slobs with Pics

[moemoe]

I am by now means a professional musky fisher, so be kind but I managed to get out on Georgian bay are for some late fall fishing, tough conditions weather wise but managed a couple of slobs, 1st fish was 53inches, and 41bs, I did forget the camera in another boat, so the fish did make a short 30 second ride to the dock in my live well, hence the shot on the dock, Was released after a short rest beside the dock, Caught this beauty in approx 4 fow in a weedy bay and Lindy m/g spinner,

Second fish beneath here was caught on the same spinner in 3 fow off a point with some shallow weeds,

Very Very Nice Fish. I hope they were returned in good shape - they are truly trophies. Well done and thanks for sharing.

For water that doesn't give up those kinds of fish easily, I'd say that you had an incredible weekend! Beauty 'skis man!

Beauty skis MoeMoe. Are these fish in the shallows in the mid afternoon or morning? Nice shot of the magic lure. Where do you hook on the marshmallows?

Nice fish Moe Moe...I know you were excited but LIVE WELL??? With a slot fish to boot. Pushing that type of release isn't going to give you any brownie points.

 

 

on a side note..nice to see the airship is being put to good use...

I know it was pushing it, and I couldn't believe I forgot the camera, I usually fish Salmon on lake O, so to me, this is late fall I guess, and yes my whole body was shaking with exicetment

I want to get a replica of the first, so hence getting a photo for reference was important to me,

[BillM]

I would have gotten a photo to, screw what anyone thinks...

 

At least you didn't drag the damn thing behind the boat on a stringer...

[landry]

Wow. Awesome job!!!!!

Beauty fish!

I find it annoying that the Musky Release Police always have to chime in some insulting release technique comment. Sometimes it is warranted but c'mon!

 

(And yes, I use effective in the water release techniques and horizontal holds - so I don't need a lecture too)

Big...big fish.

good job on the skis bud, hey bill where did u hear about a stringer being used like that, there was an incident this year that i heard of on a lake x where a 50+ was killed because of overhandling /stringer? just curious if you and i r speaking of the same incident.

Most likely not, I was just using an example of a bad way to bring the fish back to the dock for a picture

 

I can't believe anyone would string up a 50incher, it's almost laughable.

Amazing catches man, really good to see big gbay musky!
