Hello fishing community.
I received some great news from Johnny Dadson this past fall about a giant ski he caught while fishing Georgian Bay with his own Dadson Blade. I can attest to the fish catching ability to these spinners having taken a number of fish over 40" the 2012 season.
I have been waiting months to post these pictures, here you go!

I can't get over the girth on that beast.
What a piggy, Dadson is a good guy who makes great baits. Two of my good friends just joined his pro staff.
Awesome fish !
What a fish, unbelievable - did you let it go? Taxidermist? Congrats anyways, awesome picture.:fish:
Did that fish swallow the boat?
That's a serious fish....
I love his blades! My brother uses them all the time and produces nice fish. I like the personal name and signature on each one.

It looks full.
I'm not sure that words can describe that...
That kind of reminds me of TV show I saw where a large anaconda swallowed a 40 lb. capybera whole. Looks like this bloated thing just finished swallowing a beaver or racoon or maybe even a 15 lb pike or something. I trust this musky was live released, but it would have been really interesting to see what was in its stomach.
I hope the fish wasn't caught in deep water and is just bloated because the air bladder is almost ready to explode. That could be very hard on internal organs.
What a pig !
Whereabouts on GBay? No need to be specific, its just a big body of water.
That is one massive fish!!
It's full.
He runs his charter boat out of the Village Marina in Honey Harbour. I waiting for more details. I heard it was a record fish. Don't know if it was released or not. Wouldn't be a record if it was released.
That girth is not bloating from depth, he only fishes 3-4' down. Rod tips in the water dragging his blade baits all over Southern Georgian Bay, no land visible in the pics, probably off the west side of Beausoliel Is.
What a bruiser.....looks like it swallowed a chinook
What a beauty of a fish, just massive.
Wow what a hog of ski!! I would love to know the extact measurements on that one!
if this is the "record fish" ive been hearing rumblings about it went 58.5lbs on a certified scale at a marina and was still live released.. could be a different fish though, there will be an article in the upcoming Musky Hunter mag about it.
Definetly not a world record.......I would say between 49-53 inches with a girth measuring in at around the 27" mark. A 50 pounder yes but a world record no. Johnny is the man!!! And he's caught bigger ones than that. This fish WAS live released.
Different fish, that fish was caught on the St.Lawrence and in the same class as a couple of others that were caught there as well and released this fall.Quote:

None the less we'll find out soon enough.
Good fish,
Doesn't look super long. I helped land a mid fifty pounder out of gbay that was less than 54". Crazy to think that fish may have been too small to keep!
Thats a monster... incredible girth!
nice catch! Here are a few leviathans to come out of my area :Quote:

Just a tip: In the picture I see you'r holding it vertically. It's best to hold Muskie and pike horizontally, so you're supporting there jaw/neck with one hand, and there tail with you're other. This way the organs in the fish all supported, rather than having them all kind of fall out of place. Because man, those fish have some heavy organs!
Nice fish though! :goodstuff:
He swam away very slowly...lingered for a while and then disapeared.
Yep, Unforchanitly, many muskies end up this way. Although most people think that there muskie made it ok, the truth is alot of them don't. I'm very passionate about my Muskie and I get quite worked up when I have a bad release. Infact, It's usually best to keep a Muskie boatside if you can, and release him from there. However if it's a smaller one they are obviously alot easier to handle, so you can usually pick them up. I'm not sure what landing gear you have, But a rubber coated mess net is best, along with rubber landing gloves. Gloves are like 4$ at BPS and a net can be bait more. But trust me it is worth it to see them swim away everytime. Good pliers and a small pair of bolt cutters are really helpful for cutting free an unforchanit fish. Try to use a heavier line to insure a good quick fight, light line can result in a very long harmful fight to the fish. When fishing for pike always be prepared for a stray Muskie to come along, as it happens alot.Quote:

But trust me, a few extra precautions will for sure result in more live releases.
Thats enormous! Great catch and where does he sell these spinners? can they be found online?
thanks for your response
Bonafied HOG!!!
Stacy at Pro tackle has a selection and Musky Tackle Online are both great places for the Dadson blades
Was looking for some musky pics and came across this. ( I realize it's a old thread).Quote:
