Many new anglers targeting muskie wonder why the lures are so big. The truth is the females put on some pounds to get ready for the spring spawn. Water temperatures are colder and fish won’t chase as much as they do in the warmer months. Easier to eat one big meal than to try and find 3 meals.
This musky was grabbed by a larger musky after it ate a suick half way to the boat. No bait is too big!!!
