Thanks Red for posting the pic and thanks ttabaleulb for the kind words. I moved to Gananoque, Ontario 2 years ago from Franklin PA. The fish was caught on the St. Lawrence trolling a 9" perch...

Good Luck Red!! I can't wait to read your reports and see some pics of some monsters.

I've fished LOTW 4 times over the last three years staying at Wiley Point Lodge through Totem Resorts. This is the nicest place you could ever find on prime musky water. Totem makes it so easy...

Fished yesterday afternoon between Oil City and Franklin and there was diesel fuel slick on the surface with a very strong smell. A DEP guy was around checking to see how far down river it had...

Yeah those were the first ones. I had only been out 2 times in January with no luck then the ice was real bad. I would be going out tonight but we are taking the boat down to Wiegle's to get worked...

Red,
Fished the river around Oil City Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Friday I caught a 32.5", nothing Saturday, and on Sunday caught a 33", 37", and a real fat 46". Fish on Sunday were caught at...

I use 7/0 for Plows, What do you guys use for Wiley headshakers?
Thanks

Hey Red,

My Dad and I have been using 80lb Spectron for years with no problems. 2 years ago I switched to the new 100lb Bronzeback Masterbraid for casting. It is the best line I have ever used. It...

I tie my own fluorocarbon leaders using a nailknot, crimp them, then glue the knot. I make trolling leaders with 150lb and casting leaders with 150lb and 200lb for jerkbaits. The leaders really last...

Those three fish were from the river. 8 Saturdays in a row on lake X resulted in a 39" and a 32". Very tough fall for us!!

Had the day off work Friday and hit a fat 44" with a 20.5" girth at 11:45 A.M. Saturday caught a 33" and 37" right at moon set.
Yesterday I fished the last 2 hrs of daylight and lost a small musky...

One of the fish I caught out of Georgian Bay was on a Pro Dawg Pounder. I didn't throw them all day, I would just pick big fish spots to throw them. I don't think my shoulders could take using them...

Lax shipped it to me in a 6 foot cardboard box full of about a million foam peanuts. The wood was held in place with 2 screws in the back through the cardboard to prevent any slidding. It was quite a...

Red,
Thanks for posting the replica pic and thanks to everyone else for the congrats. The fish turned out better than I thought possible, Lax does an amazing job.

Lax did the replica. I waited about a year and half before I decided to get one. I ordered it at the end of last February at the Columbus show and received it at the end of September. It was a very...

Red,

The picture of my replica is too big for the forum. Could I send it too you through email. I'm not sure which email to use.

Thanks

Last fall and winter that is all I used. I found they held up better than the 2008 Bulldawgs. They tend to sink faster and the harnesses still will tear at the tail. This year I have been using...

I have a picture of that fish in Larry Ramsell's musky compendium and in his more recent books with the bright yellow covers( I can't think of what they are called). That fish looks like a beast, it...

I literally look at that picture weekly during the winter months to keep me motivated to brave the weather. Howard registered that fish as 54.5" with Muskies inc. not the 52.5" as stated in the...

That is quite a fish. That's funny you would say that about a bumpboard. I had Muskie Bumper make me a custom board that I picked up at the Columbus show last February that was 66" long just in case...

About 15 years ago on a trip to a small lake in Canada with my Dad we were trolling a 13" wooden Grandma, before they made the plastic ones. We hung up and lost the lure on one of the only main lake...

Great fish Red, what were the dimensions? Casting or Trolling?

Nice fish Red!! How long?

I drove over the River in Franklin on my way to work today at 7:00A.M. It was very low and very clear even with the recent rain.

Sounds like quite a fish and to have that much girth in July, she must be huge right now. I would love to see one like that in the river. You just motivated me to head to the river after work tonight...
