Beastly huge musky! ...50 inch club

[Chrisper4694]

joined the 50 inch musky club the other week with this absolutely thick monster!

The day didn't start off too well... after not being able to find anyone to join me (makes handling big fish so much easier)... I closed the garage door on the boat pulling out.... left ALL of my rods on the steps (yes i was literally 10 minutes into my drive before i realized i had ZERO rods with me).... broke one of the guide feet rushing to put the rods in the truck after i went back to get them...

I seriously wondered if i should just go back to sleep before i killed myself cause my brain clearly wasn't functioning. Fortunately, I enjoy suffering for the fish so i just kept going onward haha, and obviously glad i did!

Fighting and netting this beast solo took some weird, yoga-like poses, but i got it done. Thankfully, a fellow angler that recognized me came over in his boat and was able to help me get a great picture and quick measurement that i would never have been able to even accomplish solo!

I'm thinking I will have to fork over most of my tax return to get this legendary fish mounted!
