Sweet!  If the musky is a fish of a 1000 casts, don't ever bother to fish for them again...

Awesome trip Scott! Great pics.

Great fish and love the holding tank!  Well done!

Thanks guys, every fish was fully revived and swam away quickly...even the one that had a huge treble in its back side....

  That must have been a blast, what neat fish they are  Was a skin mount an option?

I wouldn't have...I believe you get one Muskie tag for the season...I have the measurements off the 49"er if I decide to do a replica...I'm gonna go back and get one over 50"...

Some nice looking Muskies Hunt. Great Job.
I fished for Musky near Cape Vincent last fall with 2 friends and I was lucky and caught a freshwater game fish of a lifetime! ...and earned a beautiful Mike Ringer Print from the "Save the River" foundation for documenting a successful catch and release of a legal sized NY State Musky which is at 54 inches now. It was a super thrill and rush to watch her thrashing on the surface right after the strike then completely clear the water on an awesome jump right near the boat ! Then the biggest thrill as we watched her swim down and away on the release after a brief revival .
We taped her at 56 inches, Bruce said "50 pounder + for sure"....which put her in the top 3 or 4 biggest he and his wife have ever landed in 40 years of Musky fishing.

Keep at it HUnt and I hope you can get that 50 incher , or bigger, next time out !
Good luck to you !

That had to be awesome Choo Choo...they are such a mysterious fish...yours was double the weight of the 49"er I caught...she was 26 pounds...

Awful quiet on here...

I ran the boilermaker 15K with my brother in law yesterday. That was a blast as usual and the weather was perfect. Good times.

Maybe one of these years we will both be there at the same time. 

It will be a lot of fun when my oldest gets a little bigger.
