Posts: 2060 Location: Appleton,WI | I will for the sake of it call this fish a mid to upper 30# class fish.I talked to steve heiting and he agrees and says the fish is in the mid to upper 30#'s.I got 27" and 28" on the girth measurement in middle of the fish.The release shot below show the buldge in the back of the fish. What do you think it weighs? Edited by MuskieE 9/25/2007 4:40 PM Attachments ----------------  locked.jpg (134KB - 97 downloads) lock2.jpg (68KB - 89 downloads) | ||

 | I really don't think it's ego or lacking things in other areas. This person is curious about the weight of his musky, inquired to Steve Heiting, and is asking others for their opinions. While this musky is indeed a good enough fish that everybody would want on the end of their line, it doesn't have this big of a girth and does not weigh in the upper 30 pound range even though I do not know what it weighs. To me, weight is more important than length and girth and is why I carry 2 certified Chatillion scales in my boat at all times. When the musky is in the net in the water, you compress the net bag at mid way and hook the Chatillon hook through the north and south net squares and then you can lift up far enough to extract the musky in a horizontal manner out of the water and not raise the net hoop or pole from the boat rails at all. You then have your certified weight and your own piece of mind. Simple as that.  Edited by ddfenner 9/26/2007 5:40 AM | ||
