Big muskie caught on Lake X in City X, IL on 5/10/2006

Caught this fish from shore. My personal best musky!!!! Close to the state record of 38-8. Longest documented musky caught in IL. Did not get weight or girth measurement. I was fishing alone and put the fish back in the water while I held her for 40 minutes by the tail waiting for someone to come by to take some pics. What an ordeal!!!

Where taken: Lake X

State/Province: IL
