WOW

An absolutely beautiful fish for sure. I understand when he says about being alone in the boat. Those are the kinds of moments best shared. Glad he had a digicam with him though! BEAUTY! Thanks for posting Lew.

[Ryan Landry]

I think he did pretty good, considering he was on his own.

 

NICE FISH!

 

p.s. I'm also ready to go fishing now.

You're right, Ryan. Cut the guy some slack guys. He was alone in the boat and I don't know how many of you folks have seen the difference in releasing a 57" as opposed to a 37 incher.

[musky_man]

That was a beaut -- thanks, Lew.

None of the big ones we caught this fall, with Thorpe, seemed to be in any hurry to swim away. They don't even thrash/roll in the net like the smaller ones Lew and I caught on the BOG this fall did. It's like..."I've been here before..get them hooks out of my face and let me go about my business". Then they take their time at the side of the boat and slowly swim away.

 

Great find Lew !

[silveradosheriff]

Yikes - what a beast!

Gotta go sharpen some hooks....

[tdotfisherman]

Wow.. If I caught a muskie HALF that size I would be extatic... that was just unreal..

[lunkerbasshunter]

big fish for sure!! must have be a challenge getting that thing boated by yourself

 

cheers!

[Guest skeeter99]

sorry just a observation!!!!

 

I did not say he did not do a good job!!!

 

she just looked like she was done from the video rolling up on her side. the stress on the fish of her size is huge and does kill some of them a few hours later. but a beast to say the least

[Handlebarz]

Dang that was a beast. Yep them big girls like to take there time and just take a slow leave from the boat it is nice sight to watch.

[Squid]

Thanks for the link Lew. That was a really nice fish.

[2 tone z71]

ahh man that was awesome thanks for sharing I watched it a few times,come on spring

[camillj]

Wow .... I mean .... WOW !

 

The guy said he saw her again a week or so later ... so there is a happy ending

 

Thanks Lew .. Now I cant wait till the ice melts and I havent even been out yet

[GbayGiant]

That's a monster, good stuff. She made it, takes a while. This is the stuff that makes me daydream all winter, can't wait till opener.

[fishindevil]

Well it sure is...A TROPHY OF A LIFETIME.. !!!!!!... a huge muskie

[mattyk]

[Rich Clemens]

It's one thing to see pics of such monsters ... but a video ! Thanks Lew. How many days until the opener ?

[irishfield]

[Jeff R]

Great link for sure lew...The fact that he was able to do all that by himself and it survived, is as impressive as the fish....don't think I could have done it.......How do you top that tho'?

[addict]

[PAZE]

Great link for sure lew...The fact that he was able to do all that by himself and it survived, is as impressive as the fish....don't think I could have done it.......How do you top that tho'?
