Visiting my mother-in-law in West Virginia for Thanksgiving and landed this fatty on a Hughes River Shaker on The Yough in PA. We missed three other fish and saw four more. Things were a-movin'.

Nice one man. I'm dying to catch one. I'm a bass fisherman but wanna try going for musky. Do you think it would be worth my time to try this year?

Great fish Mark, congrats. Any measurements?

[GetANet]

Man that's a beauty. Congrats! You should change your name to"MuskyOnTheLake" !!!! LOL Way to Go!!!!!

Thanks guys! Skunk, I didn't get a measure, that's a bad habit I seem to have. We guestimated at 43 inches and close to 25 pounds. I'm always just happy to have a picture and see the fish swim away real strong, which this one did. And Andrew, it's never to late to try and get one. They are undoubtedly feeding this time of year. I would suggest investing in the proper net and release tools if yer gonna target them. Feel free to PM me.

Mark, how are you buddy? Is anyone doing good with the Muskellunge on LH. I hear they lowered the lake.

[catfishonthelake]

I'm good Eddie. I haven't heard anything about Hopat. I haven't fished the Big Lake for muskies since late October, but we were movin' fish on the smaller lakes before I left for WV. I hate to say it, but I have a couple busy weekends coming up and this may have been my last musky trip for 2012 if we get ICE. I didn't know they lowered the lake. I think we're about to get hit with a winter though. I have the tip-ups ready and I have a hunch I'll be chasing flags by Christmas.
