Re: Lake Hopatcong Musky
Thanks guys. Ed I was talking to your son at that show in Edison and told him where I thought these fish were gonna be this time of year. He confirmed my suspicion. I'm sure you can figure out where I was by the pic seeing as you've probably been there more than a few times. This was absolutely textbook where this fish was sitting and it gives me a lot of confidence to be able to go out and find one in February on such a big lake. And a note on the size, I've had a lot of big-league muskie guys take a look at these photos and they ALL agree that it was probably 48-inches and pushing 30 pounds. Take a look at some of the 41 and 42 inch fish online and note the distance between the first and second fin, then compare. This fish was no joke. I could have done a better job holding this fish and should have given it's belly more support, but I'm still fairly new at this and I was pretty much shaking at that point.
