I had the opportunity to go musky fishing on Rainy Lake in northern Minnesota. Had an awesome time and caught two muskies! The biggest of the day was 46 inches long and weighed about 35 pounds! Caught a second one later in the day that was 39 inches long. I hired Cody from Full Throttle Guiding to take me fishing.
