Lunker777 Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Hey everyone I just wanted to share a pic of my buddies first Musky Earlier this summer, we were bass fishing out on St.Clair and he hooked into a smaller but VERY nice looking tiger musky..... My stupidity got the best of me while tryin to land the fish and I snapped the line.... he then told me he had never caught a Musky before !!! haha so not only did I lose a $10 lure, but I also lost a big fish for him ! So... I owed him big time ! haha well on Sunday we decided to hit the river for some trolling action.... Not 15 minutes into our trip the rod goes off..... and we land this beaut... No official measurment but I would say approx 45" +/- Thanks for looking ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muskeybugged Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) Judging by head size..... Length from the fin under the gill, to the belly fin and the straining expression on your buddies face ..... my calculations have it at 49 7/8"!!!! Calling it 50" wouldn't get an argument outta me!
