Hello, I use this site for education, which I receive, along with a good bit of humor. I don't have much to contribute with my limited Muskie fishing experience living here in Texas, but I thought this was pretty cool. Here are a couple of pictures of what I think to be the same fish. Caught in July 2010 and July 2015. Caught within a couple of days being exactly 5 years, and 30 yards apart.

That is awesome! I've caught the same fish many times over also. Proof to the nay-sayers on catch and release!

Slow grower it seems. How much did it change in 5 ?

That is pretty cool. Could be a male muskie. Here in Illinois few male muskies grow over 40". Still a nice healthy looking fish and can't wait to see what it looks like when you catch it 5 years from now.

Glad to see you like the humor on this site. I will try and contribute more, it's been a thousand posts since I have been funny.

ARmuskyaddict, I hear you. I don't do near as much fishing down here as I used to. Kinda hard to get pumped up for bass, when most are the size of Muskie baits. It just doesn't compare. Rodbender, I'm not sure on the size change. Didn't measure. ToddM, I respect your style. I have been entertained. HH, I will do my best, but I was smiling on the inside!

That's very cool! It does happen from time to time, but 5 years apart in a body of water that size, in nearly the same place? Wow. Nice job!
