The number of 50 inch class fish landed
was down a little bit this year, but there number of big fish seen and
hooked was probably better than previous years. Even your
favourite website author may have had had a couple of chances at a big
one. One particular instance ended in heartbreak when the fish
barrel rolled and pulled the big treble hook out of it's snout, which
was poorly hooked to begin with. I'm sure I'm not the first
muskie angler to end up on their knees looking at the sky after a nice
battle with a big fish, but I hope I don't have to experience that
again anytime soon! I was also there to witness Randy B wrestle
with a fish that was going to make it awfully close to the 50 inch
class, but that wasn't to be either. The great news is the
number of 47-49 inch fish that were landed this year. I don't
remember a year with this many fish in the upper 40 inch range.
Congrats to our new and returning 50 club members on landing great
trophy fish year. Special congratulations to Jim Willford for
catching and releasing a legal Lake of the woods muskie.

this hawg hit hard on David Swenson's new big two-bladed bucktail he
calls the "Double Gunner."

After netting a couple of 50 plus inch
muskies for her husband Tom in the previous few years, Lois was able to
land the big one in 2007. Congrats on muskie of a lifetime and
personal best!

After 17 years of casting Lake of the
Woods, my muskie mentor and good buddy finally got his casting
50 on a Bailey Tail made by David Swenson. Congrats and well
deserved, Baz.
It's time to update the 50" club for some of the
action

A new member of the Mylie's Place 50"
Club. Jeff submitted this photo in Jan '09 after booking a trip
for the coming season. How many other 50 inch muskies have been
caught and released without fanfare? More than a few I'm
sure. Nice fish, Jeff. Thank you for the photo.
WOW! That is
17 muskies 50 inches or
better that we know of during 2004.

These 3 fish were part of an amazing Labour Day Weekend trip in 2002.
Dusty's pair of 50's were caught within 20 minutes of each other
on the same rock bar. Scott's fat 52 incher was the biggest
muskie caught out of the resort that year. The group of 4 guys
total with two boats caught 11 fish that weekend so don't let anyone
tell you that late August and early September isn't a good time to fish
Lake of the Woods. You have to click on these photos to and see
the larger version to appreciate the size of these hawgs.

I know there are many, many more 50 inch class fish
that have been caught by our guests over the years. If you have
caught a fish that was 50 or bigger or know someone that has caught one
or two or
six, please contact me. I would love to be able to put your catch
online and make you a member of the Mylie's Place 50" club. Email
me at jwgaudry@hotmail.com
