Those Yamaha V-max's are nice motors. I'm also impressed they way they left her in the net instead of dragging it in the bottom of the boat right away, assuming they released it (hopefully) otherwise all for not.

@88280Nick it was released & lived to see another fight

what's the music?

[Dodg0051]

@franshags just some country twang i found on my computer

Its a nice Muskie, but its not a giant. I have caught northerns larger than that on Leech lake MN. I hope you did the right thing and released him because some day he will become a giant.

@tmkrjk It was released safe & sound. no need to keep really any fish anymore with how good replicas are.....just get a few good photos & measurements quick then back in the water

You were very lucky he didnt bite through that light line you got on that little rod. great job. I recently got my first pike while fishin for bass on 8lb test, hooked the 2nd and he bit through the line. but again, great fish

@muskiesrock1 Even if u are DNR, it's really hard to believe that's not a Tiger Muskie those stripes are identical.

[muskiesrock1]

@MegaNINJAKING That is not a tiger muskie. I worked with the Minnesota DNR's foremost muskie expert and have fished muskies for 18 years myself. The markings are similar to a tiger hybrid but not quite the same.

Nice job of landing that muskie!!

i caught a musky this summer.

[MegaNINJAKING]

Yeah thats a tiger musky, the vertical lines are not separate.

[WickedWind6]

Very nice job indeed landing him! We don't see many fish like that in KY.

[dewz4949]

Irregardless of what others say about the size, you landed a damn nice musky on light tackle which makes the catch and the battle that much sweeeeeter!! The fishing Gods were with you that day.

was that weed he gave you

@tmkrjk Northerns don't grow 46+ inches in Minnesota? I'm sorry, but, I think that muskie is bigger than your northerns. I can believe you caught a 40 incher, as those are common, but around 50 inches? You must be using some giant musky bait or something.
