Nice fish. Don't worry about the weight, no musky fisherman will ever ask how much your musky weighed. The fact is that unless you have a sling, weighing or even holding a musky vertically puts a lot of strain on their internal organs. It's good to think that most muskies that are caught are released, so handling them with care is good practice. That being said, only the inches are important, which I would put btw 30 and 32. Very pretty fish. Congrats again.
