Ryan Slack’s Sturgeon Lake Muskie monster

Ryan Slack, a Leaside lad now grown and married will be remembered by many from Leaside High School. Over the weekend while fishing on the Trent Severn System Ryan, caught this monster Muskie out of Sturgeon Lake. His dad, former CTV editor Ian Slack, mailed the pictures to The Bulldog.  The barely believable denizen was about 50 inches long but the mouth was frightening. Truly unreal said Ian. It seems to be at least ten inches across. Ryan and his brother in law Jim got a 36-incher about ten minutes earlier and returned it to the lake. They tried to revive this one but after a half an hour of trying it was no go so it the enormous specimen will be mounted. The Trent Severn System is famous for its muskie, pickerel, pike, walleye, large and small mouth bass and many other fish.
