JustinHoffman Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Hello All,Some may have heard, but my good friend Christine Cope landed a monster 55" muskie this past Saturday while fishing Lake St. Clair. Not only is this fish long, but it is fat and such a clean-looking specimen.I put together a short write-up detailing the catch after talking with Christine yesterday. You can find it here:http://www.wideopenspaces.com/female-angler-lands-monster-55-inch-lake-st-clair-muskie-pics/Good Fishing,Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhioFisherman Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Dang! Great fish! " They were marking shad in the area, " On Lake Erie here if you are marking shad or seeing them? You stand a decent chance of snagging one! Shad that is! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I'm impressed with the hold she's doing!!! Most men in my boat can't hold a fish that well for a picture... And if you haven't been lucky enough to hold a fish like this go fill a 5 gallon pail with water then hold it away from you body... For 20-30 seconds... With a smile on your face!!! unless your Lew... Then think to yourself... "Her fish was heavier"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosebunk Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I'm impressed with the hold she's doing!!! Most men in my boat can't hold a fish that well for a picture... Christine is and has been tougher than most men, all her life. She's straining to hold this fish and crack that smile though, I can tell. This might possibly be the best St. Clair fish I've laid eyes on and Justin's right to get excited for her. She's just an awesome angler and person all around. Congrats again Chris.

Brettiop Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 a nice fish from st clair. not a monster but a nice fish. How many st clair fish have you seen bigger then this? If this isn't a monster then i guess St clair isn't capable of producing one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 a nice fish from st clair. not a monster but a nice fish. You have pics or proof of something bigger or comparable? You should have left it at nice fish. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinHoffman Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Hello All, Just wanted to say that I passed along this thread to Christine and she was very appreciative of all the kind comments and well wishes. As for your comment, 'outlaw' - I will leave you with this. After doing a bit of research, a 56" fish (girth of 26") caught in 2009 was deemed the largest muskie ever taken from the lake according to records kept by the Michigan-Ontario muskie club. If a bigger fish has come from those waters since then, it is unknown. If not, Christine's fish would be the second largest ever caught from St. Clair. Would I deem that a monster? A trophy? A giant? I'd say yes to all three. But that's just me. Good fishing to all... Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol And this is a great fish but I'm sure there has been bigger or at least longer caught this year... Actually I'm sure I saw a pic of a 56.5" just the other day...
