Haven't had much of a chance to get out on Lake Erie or the Niagara River much this year due to the fact that my wife works weekends at Mercy Hospital and I am home with the kids..Plus she is 9 months pregnant. So last Sunday was the 2nd and last fishing trip on the river this year. . Was using an

Eco Pro spinnerbait when I hooked into this fish.. It was amazing and I still can't believe I caught this Muskie.. 50 inches and 18lbs... on 12 pound Berkley iron silk..

    Best thing about it was I was fishing for smallmouth and 15 minutes before I caught this fish I told my brother in law the fact that I haven't caught a muskie or pike in almost 2 years. .

    One of your measurement numbers is off. An 18 pound musky is normally around 40 inches long. A 50 inch musky is closer to 30 pounds. Either that or that is the skinniest 50 incher ever.

    Either way, nice fish. Congrats.

    That is a great looking fish, thanks for sharing. I wouldn't mind hooking in to something like that some day.

    Well , I guess I measured wrong..

    Congrats on the fish and kid.

    I will say, however, that I just had the first born on 8/17 and have been fishing 6 times since then.

    Your wife will understand; no reason to shut it down for the year.
