    Pretty fun tussle on walleye trolling gear. Picked this big girl up on Saturday night trolling St Albans bay area. She smacked a #8 shallow shad rap. Took a couple drag-peeling runs before we got a good look at her. Then she had us running circles around the boat for about 5 minutes. Finally got her in the boat and she measured out at 52 x 25! Couple quick photos and back she went. Nice way to wrap up the open water season for me. This one is definitely the biggest Ski I have had the pleasure of meeting! Big thanks goes out to Terry H. aka dead weight for the open seat.

    Great fish Jon! But I’ve gotta say that it always irritates a musky fisherman when a walleye guy catches one that beats his personal best!
