Reid Smith caught this dandy 48" fishing with good friend of mine, Ryan McCormick. We shaved his head into a mohawk during the trip, I just thought you couldn't beat the smile.

That is a cool fish, hey it shaving a mowhawk can get a kid a fish, I am taking my kids to great clips today! Congrats on the catch!

Does that fish have a short upper jaw? Kinda looks like it.

is it just me or does the top jaw look shorter than the bottom one could be the angle of the camera but something looks funny but it is a very nice fish

The beginning of the story.
Reid went out the night before by him self and was casting for bass with a spinner bait when the fish came out and grabbed his spinner bait. he was to afraid to set the hook because he was all alone, and he said that he didn't know what he would have done if he caught the big fish. So he went to free spool and,he said the fish swam around till the hook fell out of its mouth.
Because no one was with him to net the fish and he also had no camera,he thought the older boys would not have believed him.
The next morning Reid took his brother Mac Smith and friend Ryan McCormick back to the same spot and caught the 48 incher. Reids third musky.

Cheers and tight lines,
Reids and Macs proud Dad

Thanks Will

Nice fish.

Looks like that fish was running a 40 yard dash in a 30 yard gym.

Glad to see that kid finally get a fish of size, he gets left on the dock so much........... Maybe he ought to trade that skate board for a St. Croix?
