| My son and I went muskie fishing today and he had three hook ups and landed this 41 inch female:

I had one hook up and accidentally fell into the river from a canoe. Other than the cold water, it was a good day...

Location: Yahara River Chain | Nice. You know if those muskies didn't fight so frantically when we hook them, I'd doubt many would fish them |

whats the wire/string around the fishes jaw ?
It took me a few minutes to get the camera out of the truck and get back down to the ramp to take the picture. We had a string through the muskies mouth and kept her in the water until we could get the picture and measurements, and then had a good release on her. My son worked with her the whole time to get her revived so it worked out well.
I was glad that I put my camera back in the truck instead of having it in my pocket when I fell into the river... |

Word! Besides, he's fishing from a canoe. Not much room for a giant net. |

| yeah, we don't like using the Boca grip and usually use a landing net. sometimes when we are fishing from a kayak or canoe, we'll take a grip. |

Location: Northern Wisconsin | I honestly might try the rope through jaw idea... I have caught some fish wading solo and had no way of getting a decent picture so I just snapped a photo with my phone and let it go. The rope would act like a leash for the musky as I set up my camera with the fish still in the water. |

I caught a muskie one evening when I was by myself, so I set up my camera to take an automatic picture. Couldn't get the camera up high enough, so I had to lean way back to get me and the fish in the picture. The picture looked so ridiculous that my wife wouldn't let me show it to anyone...  |

Neither is ramming hooks into their faces and dragging them back to the boat, not to mention putting them in a net or holding them out of the water for a picture...
