yeah abt 20lbs and thats a hog, sad to hear that they've been having trouble with their bigger muskies in mille lacs recently tho. a few years back when there were more I pulled a 54" from a smaller lake nearby

There was a news story a couple of years back about some chick in Canada who was bitten by a big ass muskie that dragged her under water before letting her go.

Apparently muskies have poor eyesight and just randomly bite stuff that might be edible and when it realized the woman was too big to eat, let her go.

Looks like Pike. Is it the same fish, just a different word over in the States?
