GbayGiant Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Cograts on the amazing trip, more muskies than most guys catch in a life time. I like that hand shot of Dans 52" it does show the real size of these girls.
lew Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Absolutely outstanding Wayne !! You waited a long time for this trip and it was certainly worth it. Congratulations to both you & Dano on each getting your 1st ever muskies, and then the pair of youz joining the 50" club on your 1st attempt. Kudos to you too Marc, for doing what you do so well, you've put alot of smiles on the faces of alot of anglers.
irishfield Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) Thanks everyone. Cropped the two 50's and the 46" fish for head shots...as I think they're pretty neat. Dano's looks like a bronze statue. Edited October 9, 2007 by irishfield
Squid Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 Have to say that those are beautiful fish Wayne and Dano. Amazing numbers and I just love those under water shots. Great report!!!
irishfield Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) Thanks Pete! I'd also like to add for those looking to get into Muskie fishing, like I did a couple years back..skunked to this point.... that I highly recommend a trip like this, or fishing with someone really comfortable with them to show you the right way to net, photo and release these wonderful fish. No where near as wild as I thought they'd be once netted. They tend to calm right down, like "get this over with and let me swim"...unlike a pike that generally goes nuts in a net. Any fish shown in this threads photos, in the boat, were only there for 15 to 20 seconds. Fish just stays in submerged net after removing the hooks (hooks removed with fish under water in net) and with Marc once you lift it out you get 2 quick shots before it goes back. Cameras turned on...fish comes up out of net..2 quick shots and right back into the water for the smaller ones and into the cradle and back in the water for bigger ones so they can be measured and then slowly released back to the depths. No measuring in the boat....he doesn't even bother with girth measurements and there wasn't a tape anywhere in the boat either. Just the measurement strip on the Frabil floating cradle.

bigbuck Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 MONSTERS!!!!! Run for your lives!!!! Jeez, those are very, very nice 'skis!!! I've heard stories from a reliable source about the Larry and now I am seeing actual proof. I guess if you really want size AND numbers, that's the place to go!!! Congrats on your PBs.
