It’s fairly common to hear about 50 inch muskie being caught each year, but its very rare to hear about a 50 pounder! Check out the size of this incredible muskie!

“On Sunday, September 27, Kyle Anderson of Rapid City, MI caught this 50-pound 8-ounce Great Lakes muskie. The fish is now the new Michigan state record. It beat the old record, set in 1984, by 2.5 pounds. Anderson was fishing in Torch Lake, near Traverse City.”
I used to spend summers out near Traverse City when I was a kid, but I had no idea that there were fish like this were swimming around!

Lake St Clair is known for having an impressive muskie population, but most of the fish aren’t as big as muskie found in other areas like the St Lawrence and Ottawa River. This past weekend the two massive muskie over 50 inches were caught, including a frightening 56 incher that was registered as 39 pounds!

What a beast!
