Ontario Record Muskie: The Ontario record Muskie weighed 65 pounds and measured 58 inches in length with 30.5 inches in girth. Toronto's Ken O'Brien caught the great fish on October 16, 1988, in Georgian Bay's Blackstone Harbour, Moon River Basin. The story goes that it was Ken's first time Muskie fishing.
Speared in the winter of 1948, the fish also has the distinction of being the last sturgeon caught in the entire Red River basinâsouth of the Canadian border. The largest sturgeon on record in Minnesota was a 405 pound monster taken from the Roseau River in 1903. The Red River basin, of which the Pelican and Otter Tail rivers are a part, was fragmented by 500 damsâpreventing sturgeon from reaching spawning areas. Today, with dam modifications and removals, lake sturgeon have been reintroduced in regional watersâincluding Detroit Lake and the Otter Tail River.
