The muskie measured 57 inches in length and 26 inches in girth; common calculators estimate the fish’s weight at just over 48 lbs - 21.74 kg.
A very quick battle; in fact Tourond said the battle was lasting about 45 seconds as the fish swam straight at the boat. After some measurements and a quick photo, the fish was returned to the water.
It is one of the biggest muskie ever caught in Canada.
