Same Musky?

Did this post on last couple of versions of board. Trying out the new system <_<

 

 

Anyways, about 1998 caught a musky in about 45 ft of water while jigging for walleye.

Realizing quickly that it was a musky i reeled it in nice and slow letting it decompress itself.

Was using 6 lb. test but brought it in anyways since i was concerned the stinger would fuse the upper

and lower jaws shut.

A few years later i caught a musky on a shallow shelf adjacent to the deeper water.

No big deal, used the cradle quick photo and released.

A few years later flipping through musky pics these two were back to back.

They sure looked somewhat similar, but the white bar above the tail fin was the give away.

 

If there the same sure shows proper care and handling (C&R) helps when fishing these beasts.

Fish looks stronger and healthier second time around.

Nice fish, they do look similar and there both nice. I accidently caught my two fist muskies walleye fishing as well both on worm harnesses in the same year, that's what got me started. I wonder how many more I would have got walleye fishing instead of using my big musky gear.

Boy, that fish sure looks similar to me. Interesting thing is if it is the same one, it appears to have a better build than prior, which is cool.

 

Either way, it's way cool.

Maybe it was working out to impress the ladies....

Thought that the second picture makes the fish look shorter.

Its that bar of white, posterior to the caudal peduncle, that is unique in both fish.

Most other things match up as well.

Ya but whatever...

 

ehg, I remember you posting that before.

 

Sure, looks like the same guy/gay ?? to me.

 

Nice fish

Are you saying that muskies can be gay?

Whatever floats your boat! :huh:
