Went out to dinner (anniversary), by boat, at a restaurant a couple of miles downriver from my home.

On the way back, I picked up this muskie:

Didn't put up much of a fight for the size of her. :cry:

Sorry for the vertical hold, but I figured the fish wouldn't mind. And that's not a smile- it's a grimace at having to hold that heavy, wonderful fish at all.

The cleithrum will be put to good use.

There is a funny story connected to this that I'll try to post in the next couple of days.

THIS IS SO SAD...

How big do you figure that fish to be, anyway (length/inches)?

I hope the data collected from all these dead fish can help solve the muskie mystery. It's a real shame.

On a brighter note: Happy Anniversary to you & your wife, CCB. :D

Happy Anniversary CCB

That thing has to go 60" :shock: :shock:
Very hard to beleive this high mortality is caused by water temp change.
