Minnesota treestand time has been limited for me. I do have a tomorrow through Sunday and a day or two next week free to go, but my expectations are not that high... missing Iowa....

But the tradeoff has been, um... how do you say... fair? :grin:

Been enjoying the water this fall, netted a few fish for Ryan, and he finally netted a fatty for me. (Caught on his custom sucker rigs, no less!)

50X22, likely pushing 40 pounds.

And contrary to this being posted in the "Harvest" forum, she swam away to fight another day! :grin:

Great fish and pics! If you can't be in the stand, that is definitely a close 2nd.

Good night! Incredible Thomas!

 

[AZHunter]

[Bill Hartzell]

TOO COOL!!!! Looks like the trade-off is working out for you.

Mmmmmm, nuthin better than Musky steaks!!!!

Seriously, how many times do you suppose a musky that big has been caught and released? Anybody ever try to tag them to keep track? Lots of data to be captured.

What if the MN DNR partnered with an NGO to provide training and cost share equipment to "chip" muskies so when they are caught their data could be read and recorded?

Voluntary of course.

I caught a 48 two weeks ago that we know for a fact has been caught 3 times since last october, same spot, same bait. She has a big white scar on her right jaw we have pics of.

Man if your gonna fish!!! That is what we is talking about! :way:

 

[Blaster]

That's a good one. He will fit good on the smoker!

 

[Packnasty]

That last fish is a nice slob. When I was fishing them hard I'd love the fall sucker rigs. I've had luck in the past casting and then keeping a sucker rig under the boat for the followers to hit.

 

[bigbuckhunter88]

Awesome fish. Might not be as good hunting up there, but your fishing is now worlds ahead of ours.

That is unreal! Great job Thomas.
