OOH YEAH!!! Thats a great feeling u earnd em dude.. way to get a good hookset on em n keep em healthy

Re: GetANet because I got a Musky!!!
 

Congrats on your first Muskie!.. One thing I guess I don't understand however. Did you keep or release the fish??.
I was confused by this line you wrote in your post-

" Quickly We dispatched the fish with the billy club and then took some pics.
Ah got ya!!!
Like a surgeon Jigman removes the hook and we took two quick pics and a measurement before releasing it back into the water with
it's tail smacking the water and giving me a quick bath".


Doesn't matter either way, but I was wondering about the "dispatched with a billy club" line you wrote.. When I do that, the fish is headed home to eat.
I crack its head one or twice with whatever, and she goes in the cooler..
Did you guys whack it to quiet it down, and then release it??.. Its None of my business of course, but I'm just confused by your wording... bob

Re: GetANet because I got a Musky!!!
 

BB.. The "ah I got ya!" part means he was joking. We treated that fish with the utmost care. It was netted, de hooked while in the net and water, then photographed for about 30 seconds before it was released. We release 99.9% of our catch...

Very cool.. Now I feel like a dope, for the "ah got ya" thing sailing over my head... I ate a tiger muskie one time many years ago.. My son caught it, wanted to take it home, etc.. It was a grainy nasty tasting thing, and I NEVER took another and never will... btw, Live suckers cannot be beat as musky bait!!! Nice job!... bob

Re: GetANet because I got a Musky!!!
 

I am quite surprised it took that long for somebody to question the "Billy Club" joke!!! Usually there would be a dozen people jumping on my case about Dispatching the Musky!!!
We really try to make every effort possible not to harm any fish! Sometimes things happen you can't avoid but if your prepared and make it priority ONE the end result is usually a good one with the fish swimming away unharmed!!!
