Beast Mode Musky

[catfishonthelake]

Got my biggest musky of the year so far. Measured 47.5" and estimated to weigh many pounds. Fight was short and hooks came right out, but didn't get to take my picture with her because she wouldn't stay upright in the net. By the time I would have gotten my tripod and timer set-up, it would have died. Took a couple quick cell phone pics and after only a few minutes she swam off real strong and I stayed in the area for 15 minutes and she didn't come back up. Water temps were still only 74 degrees, but a week or so of warm weather and I'm going to hang musky fishing up for a bit.

Great fish Mark - and great job protecting the fish to swim another day - model conservationism indeed

beautiful fish Mark! nicely done on the landing and release, I hope more rookies that catch these fish learn the proper handling and release of a muskie, they dont realize how old these larger fish are. good luck the rest of the season, you are due for a 50"+

Thanks guys, much appreciated. I definitely wouldn't mind seeing a 50 hit the net sometime soon.
