| Caught this slob of a fish yesterday. It took 30 years but finally got this 50" beauty. Forgot to get girth. Any guesses on girth and weight? It was FAT. Caught on sucker.

| Although it is hard to tell length and girths in PICS--just to many variables---It does look like a nice health fall fish and I think most would think in the 23" girth range would be a fair judgment. Nice stained water WISCO fish I take it also..... Gotta love the Sucker Fishing. |

Location: oswego, il | That is a nice fish! While I have no reason to think this isn't a very heavy 50"er, there are those who's panties will knot up something fierce without a bump board in the pic!;-) |

| OK we had a video going during fight. I didn't take picture on bump board (dumb mistake) but I took these 2 screen shots off my computer. The tail on the top was broken up a bit but the bottom portion of the tail just made it to 50". Yes I know you can't see the whole fish on the bump board but this will have to do for Todd.

Location: 31 | ShutUpNFish - 10/19/2015 12:37 PM I'd say low 30lb range no more than 35 for sure. Congrats on a great fish! I agree and although that is a very nice fish, it takes a very-very special fish to have a true 23-24” girth in the lower 50” class. Nice Job!
Iowa Department of Natural Resources The fish in the photo was 50.9 inches long. It produced 5.5 lbs of eggs for the hatchery. This muskies was only 11 years old and was hatched at the Spirit Lake Fish Hatchery in 2003. The maximum girth, measured around the fish, was 24.2 inches. It looks like this fish has quite a bit of growth potential. Many of the female muskies in these lakes survive into their mid to late teens.

| Very nice fish! What's the width of your bump board? Using that last picture you should be able to get two solid dimensions, then if you can recall where the belly sat in your hand you can measure that and likely get close to an actual girth. |

| Great fish! That is truly a fat fish. I wish the 51" I caught had that belly. Post the video when you get a chance. I watch the video from my 50" fish at least once a week. It is a great thing to have. |
