I Caught this 49", 31 lb Musky while jigging for walleye with 6 lb test Power Pro braided line.  My next door neighbor Nick and I were fishing for silver bass on the Detroit River when she hit a silver jig and a "silver pepper shiner" Fin-S minnow in 30 ft of water in the shipping channel.  This is the  biggest fish I've caught to date and the biggest the neighbor kid had ever seen. It took me a while to settle him down.

She put up a good fight with two runs before coming to the boat, at that point I realized she wouldn't fit in my net!

I ended up using a Rapala Lip Grip to get her in the boat, we took this pic and released her back into the river.
