Muskie Fishing -> General Discussion -> What would you do?

Subject: What would you do?


Suppose you just had caught the largest musky of your lifetime thus far. You played it out well, got the hooks out quickly, carefully lifted it up for a few pics, eased back into the water and got out the measuring stick and got your length measurement. You found out that you just caught a 51 1/2 inch fish! Pretty Cool, huh?!?!?!?! Well, it all worked out real well, the fish is released into shallow water and swims away on its own accord. ROCK 'n ROLL!!!! BUT, OH S##T! I didn't get the GIRTH! The fish appeared to be pretty thick and solid as all get out, but how does a person even begin to estimate the girth so he can get a replica? This is my dilemma. I forgot the girth measurement! I would guess the weight of the fish at close to 40 pounds. Not much less, and maybe even a bit more. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Cast-n-blast the only thing I can tell you is maybe if you find a weight formula that is like Heighth X Girth = Weight

You can substitue in what you think the weight is and the put in the heighth watever it was 50 + somethin. Then all you have to do is solve for the girth so you divide the Heighth by the Weight. Otherwise I don't know what else you can do. You have any questions email me at my email link below. I'm no brain surgeon just keep taking harder math classes every year.[:0]

Take the picture to the taxidermist; he should be able to match a replica to the picture easily.[:bigsmile:]
