Caught this piggy on Big Barbee Lake in Indiana Yesterday, she measured 48 inches on the nose.

Nice fat fish. Congratulations!

I am sooooooo freaking jealous!!

Also, is that a Lakewood bag? Do you like it? Worth the money?

Yes, its a lakewood. What you can't see is that there are 2 others in the back of the boat, so yes I like them.....a lot.

beautiful Someday I hope to get one.  What did you catch it with?

That thing looks about as tall as you!  ;D BEAUTIFUL fish!!

NICE MUSKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone!  I caught her on a cowgirl......Finally got my first fish on a cowgirl.

congrats on your new pb.  She is a beauty.  I knew the cowgirl would pay off.  Did you get her on the "8" or on the retrieve.

Do you ever fish lake Freeman or Schaefer?

I got her on the retrieve about 15 feet out...the bait hit some weeds and i sped the bait up and BAM!

I haven't ever fish Freeman or Schaefer.

Sounds like your tactic was just right, the impression of a fleeing bait fish not wanting to snarl in weeds.  Another question, what color did you use?

Not that your success might be what works for me, I'm just curious.

What a fish dude. I wouldnt fish for bass if we had muskies here.

Really been debating over the Upright or the Hybrid bags. I have been tearing my hair out with big bait storage for a couple years now. Just wish they werent so d#%( pricey!

Nice! They are quite powerful when they get to that size. Spring and Fall is the time for the bigguns. Enjoy the pictures and congrats!

Well, I was using a Sili Girl which is a Cowgirl with a silicon skirt, the color was midnight cisco.

Fourbizz, they are definitely worth the money, I have one that is 4 years old and it looks like new...and I abuse them.

What a beast! Congrats! Ones that size are few and far between here in MD. I've only seen a handful that size here. Way to go!

what is a cowgirl?

Great fish!

what is a cowgirl?

It's an in-line spinnerbait. They have both bucktail or silicone skirts.

Nice looking fish billbrum!  25#?

I'm not sure the exact weight, but I have caught a 46 incher that weighed  23#(according to the weight calculation formula)....this fish was fatter and longer so I would say 30#.

Great musky no matter what state you are in. Congratulations and would have to agree the Lakewood gear is great.

Man that is an AWESOME fish! I would to take a Musky trip sometime. HMMMMM I may start looking into that!

Awesome fish!!!!  We don't have musky down here but I wish we did.  Also I've heard about the cowgirl several times now from the musky guys, but haven't wrapped my mind around the figure 8 yet.  What the heck does that mean?
