39" Musky release video
 

I decided late Sunday night to get my shit together and hit the water early Monday morning in the dense fog. After coming up empty on my last seven Musky trips my perseverance finally paid off. CPR'd this 39" 15# Musky on a Perch colored 8" jointed Believer.

Nice job on taking the time to revive her and let her get her bearings back. I've seen way too many dead Muskie over the years, glad this one is still kicking :).

Congratulations on your perseverance paying off, I'm sure she gave you a thrill of a lifetime! And in return for that thrill, Great job on the release. I'm not a musky fisherman but have seen too many steelhead floating down the Salmon River because the angler doesn't take enough time reviving spent fish. A few extra minutes could be the difference between a fish surviving or sinking to the bottom. Good work!

Thanks guys. Yeah it took over 3 minutes to get her straight. My fingers were numb but I was not letting go before it was time.

Great video dude, nice catch! ! Between the battle, handling of fish, and temperature, it really does take a lot out of these esox. During the hotter days, I wait an extra minute or so after they show signs of revival to let them sweet with no worries.
Great example of fish revival/release!!
