Upper Ottawa madness

It was another MCI outing on the Ottawa river. Me and partner Brian had been fishing the shallows for hours looking for the big ones and they never came...didn't move any fish at all. Getting a little frustrated I decided to try an off structure troll insted of the shallow casting.

First pass this dark thick 49" pounds a muskiestalker and puts up an amazing fight. It was also big enough to win the outing big fish trophy (Swan moving trophy). What a great way to start the year..It was caught June 22,09. Beauty!!!
