Just curious if this fish was release. If so, did hooking it on live bait and pulling it through the narrow hole have any detrimental effects on the fish?

Do you work for the FBI? DEA? Secret service? That's what I'm curious about! I'm 100% positive my friend released this fish without a problem. After all, he catches 10ft sharks off the beach with no issues.

I agree eddie,even if he kept the fish why would that matter as long as he was with in the law.

Very nice, congrats.

How as it walking out to that point? How did you guys deal with getting over those pressure cracks?

LOL! Thanks Eddie. He was hooked deep in his mouth but not in the gut. I released him and he swam away strong. I watched him through the ice as he dove back down so no problems. I wouldn't keep a muskie in Jersey bc I want the fishery to be as good as possible.

A couple dicey spots and you probably know where I am talking about. I tested every step with my bar until I got away from the cracks. After that no problems.
