A friend of mine took a trip with his in-laws to Cedar Lake in Ontario last week. Neither he or his brother-in-law had ever been Muskie fishing before. On the fourth day of the trip, his bro-in-law landed two including a 50″ pig. Unfortunately I don’t have a picture of that one. About 20 minutes later, off the same point, my buddy hooked into this 47″ beauty (he is 6’5″ and quite a ways north of 3 bills for size reference). Not bad for a couple guys who had never muskie fished before.
They also had a lot of luck with large pike and a lot of numbers of eater sized walleyes.
