Kevin..13+ inches?????....are you kidding????...you're not using a big enough lure mon chum!!!...Now I understand why you haven't caught that monster yet .....

You need to get this monster Jake!!!....ask Santa for one and hope you catch the Monster next season

i would need some salties to troll with a lure that size!

Biggest thing I have ever caught a muskie on





That being said, spent the entire fall this year trolling lures 12 - 15 inches long and wound up with nothing to show.

I have caught some fish on baits over 12" but the vast majority of my fish have come on baits 8 or 10 inches.

Believe it or not probably 90% of fish 48 inches or better in my boat have been on 8 inch baits. 2 over fifty on 6 inch baits.

verry nice smashed pike you have there !

i was thinking a 13'' believer to me resembles a 1 maybe 2 pound pike.

wich would be a small bait for a 50 '' musky... right?

thanx for those pictures relic that musky your holding it looks verry LONG!! great catch!

while we all love big lures. the majority of big fish are taken with lures 6-10 inches.. the great debate will continue for years but logs, records show the final results.
match the hatch gents.

5 fish on 13" believers last year.

any size on those fish or do the small ones hit big lures to?

I was one of if not the first guys to use big lures around here. I had a friend make me a 15 inch Jake. You should of seen the looks on the guys faces when they saw that thing handed to me. Well on it's first pass it caught a fat 49 and the next weekend on its first pass again it got a 55 x 26 near 50 pound fish and a few weeks later I won my first MCI outing with a 51.5 on that same lure. If you do the math that 15 inch lure caught 3 fish averaging 51.5 inches that first fall. This might be the reason I have a box full of oversized lures some 10 years later.

Like George mentions some areas like St-Clair and the St-Lawrence where guys do great on 8 inch lures in late fall where I would never use one that small on the Ottawa.

As for 13 inch believers I don't do so well on them, I catch a tonne of big fish on the 10 inch Believers but do a lot better with the 12 inch plows in late fall.

That was some great info, thanks for the question and the great response. My limited experience has taught me similar patterns, although I have had terrible luck trolling BIG baits in spring and summer, only late in the season.

Ref size caught- between 44 and 48". Success was on the pearch colour. This year we weren't as successful with, I think, only one fish caught on the 13" believer.
Like all baits, some years, for what ever reason, they work and then nothing.

12 inch plows in late fall.

what is a plow???

i would need a good musky guy to make me a list of lures with there pictures.
