Finally got my first Musky

Wasn't going to even respond to this because of how many arms there are to this situation and I don't really know how to defend two people on opposing sides.

I taught myself how to musky fish and actually had my first one from a kayak. It was 42" and I had a very big net strapped to the back of my kayak. I Horsed it in quick and maybe luckily right in the net and unhooked quick. Two guys in a bigger boat were nearby and I was able to get a quick pic and release the fish. My point being, when you have to learn by doing, trial by fire, the outcome can be swayed in either direction. I realized that this particular experience could've turned sour. I eventually got my hands on a Jon boat and an even bigger net.

I invited fishinfool with me a bunch of times but we couldn't get him one. I could've let him borrow my net this week while I was away. One of you other equipped muskie guys could've invited him out too maybe.

Bottom line, there's a bunch of ways this could've went down properly. I've fished with him and he's a good guy. He made a huge mistake not bringing a net. Honestly, it's not an excuse, but he probably wasn't even expecting to hook anything. Again, not an excuse, he's the first one to say it was stupid but he had the balls to post it here. He didn't say let me go musky fishing without a net and kill one for fun, trust me. Reading about doing something and actually doing it are two totally different sides of a coin.
