First Muskie and my first fish the 40”+ club

I caught this monster in the Susquehanna River today in Vestal, NY while fishing from my kayak. Got it on a Yakima Musky inline spinner. Slightly over 40” according to the ruler on my kayak paddle (which goes to 40” haha)

I was able to safely release it And noticed it was previously tagged.

I've been chasing this fish my entire life and it was a crazy experience to finally catch one. It was the biggest fish I’ve ever landed.

any guesses on the weigh?

Western NY, Genesee River

Google Lens (and my nephew) says it’s an alligator gar, I’ve been fishing here for 20 years and had never seen one. A search says they’ve never been naturally caught further north than Illinois. Are we crazy?

Free Fishing Weekend

Just an FYI: This weekend (June 27th and 28th) you do not need a fishing license in order to fish. You of course still have to follow the regulations. If you have any questions feel free to ask here or at r/FishingNY.

Tilefish slammer trip out of NY

Went on a 24 hr trip out of Long Island to get on some Tilefish and the action was savage. Hand cranking out of 800-1000 feet of water is no joke, but the fishing was basically at will with multiple double headers. Limited out on Goldens and got a couple Blueline as well. Got to share the spoils with many friends. Tight lines!
