Largest Highlight of the day...I say largest because, trust me my friends there were many..., was when NJBassman nimbly applied a cat-burglar like prowess to the line, thus coercing the muskie to the base of the hole. Finally, He thrust his bare hand into the water and gilled the beast, no gaff was needed...

Later, Victory was shared by all, and a feast was had. There were matrons a plenty, and fountains of mead for everyone in the land...

Ok, so the (Nordic) feast story isn't exactly true, but he did throw his arm into the hole..

Go...NJFishing!

I know it was a poetic post... but PLEASE tell me you would NEVER even think of gaffing a muskie....

he's probably talking just a lip gaff to lift them out of the hole... no permanent damage to the fish, just like a big fish hook
