Congrats on your catch Mountain Angler! I really like the coloration this one has! The ones I typically catch on the upper Potomac are typically the clear phase. What did you catch it on?

Nice catch. What did you hook him on?

[Bluebasser86]

That your first one? I've fished for them several times, only caught 3 with the biggest being 36.5 inches the smallest being 10 inches on a crappie jig. Every one was an awesome fish that I'm very glad to have had the chance to catch.

I caught him on a spinner for largemouth bass, there is a lot of bass and musky where i fish and he liked my spinner. It took lik 10-15 minutes to catch him. He was two feet from the bank when i hooked him haha.

Nice work! Yeah, muskies definitely like spinners! I've actually stopped using them when fishing for smallies because of that. I've had them hit small cranks and had a large musky follow a Strike King Rocket Shad! The largest I've caught, while actually fishing for them, was a 45 inch monster. One of my buddies actually landed a 51 incher on a small bandit crank while fishing for smallies. That one weighed 36 pounds and the best part was, no leader and was using 12 pound test.

I had a buddy that caught one that is 50.3 inches but my best is 41 inches so far but i hooked another one today and had another raised

Good job. Around here they hit rat-l-traps.

Musky are interesting because they prefer one bait day to day like any fish but still it makes them fun to catch haha. Also thanks guys.
