I Caught a HUGE Walleye - Musky Fishing the St. Lawrence River. S2:E7

In this episode my brother and I head to the mighty St. Lawrence River in pursuit of some giant Muskies. It was August, it was hot and the water temps were 75 which is unusually high for this river. While the fishing was tough at times we did have a few surprise catches.

Just hooked up with my pb last week on a creek chub it was big 42 inch Wv musky, still looking for my 45 to get mounted to go with my first ever keeper musky that was 32 on a 10 inch white posseidon. 6 fish since last may so not doing to bad for only getting to go on the weekends. Thanks for the videos. Release them all unless they go on the wall 👍

[@sgangling]

Awesome. Yeah I think I've seen your shop right near the campground.

Wondering if you know of a launch on the south side of Cornwall Island.

[@sgangling]

No idea. That was my first time fishing that water.

[@kevinbradley5808]

There is a public launch in Cornwall. Right across from Cornwall island.

Why didn’t you guys try trolling for musky. Trolling is supposed to be the best tactic on that river.

[@sgangling]

Yeah that's what I hear too. I do some trolling but my brother and I prefer to cast. It also opens an opportunity to catch other species which is nice when the Musky aren't biting

Great video friend

[@sgangling]

Thank you! 👍

[@krisrooney2283]

Thats not as big as the walleye get on this part of the st. Lawrence

[@sgangling]

@krisrooney2283 I'm sure they grow much bigger....just a good accidental catch especially since we were targeting them

[@krisrooney2283]

@@sgangling most definitely congrats

[@zacharyrishe5249]

That fish is dead

[@sgangling]

Pretty hard to kill a fish that's only out of the water for 30 seconds. Given that most would keep that fish and eat it I'll take props for giving it a chance to live by practicing catch and release. Hopefully it gave another angler a smile and full belly.
