This Musky was very chunky. I caught it on a BABY LOON TOP RAIDER about 10 minutes after sunset. The fish followed the bait for about 10 yards before taking it. This allowed me to say to my cousin Tom “look, look, its coming.” He then got to see the hit and watch the battle. I immediately knew after it struck the bait that it was a HEAVIER one. The Musky made a small run around the boat, but I eventually wore her down.

This fish traveled a great distance to get to the location where I caught it. It was way up on a long bar that extended to the deepest water in the lake. The fish I believe did not become active until the LOW LIGHT set in. A Big Musky will travel longer distances than usual under LOW LIGHT conditions.

Later in summer like this we get the sun setting much sooner and this allows people that have to work early to be able to check areas a bit after dark without loosing sleep over it. This fish was 46 inches on the nose and we immediately let it go without getting a girth measurement or weight on it.
