I was fishing in Lake St. Clair, Canada, this year with a friend and we were trolling some crankbaits for Walleye. We were hooking several smallmouth and we had a pulldown on a rod. My partner was reeling in his smallie (about 15 inches) and he got the fish all the way to the boat. I turned my head and he yells, "oh my god".... and his line is zipping off his reel. A 43 inch muskie - and yes, we got him in the boat - engulfed the 15 inch smallie along with the crankbait. After a good ten minute fight, the fish lost the battle and we had one hell of an adrenaline rush... maybe the story would be better if we never got the muskie in the boat. i could tell u it was a 60 inch monster.
