Location: Lindenhurst, Illinois | My biggest fish to date is a 46" Fox Chain Musky. Unfortunately, on the date I caught her I didn't have a camera in the boat so the fish was released without a picture. My wife suggested that I get a replica made using a picture of another fish that is similar to the 46"er. I have a picture of a 42" Fox Chain Muskie that is similar. Would getting a replica of the 46" using the photo of the 42" be cheating? |

| It wouldn't be "cheating", but I wonder if you'll regret it later. I think if I were in that situation, I would buy a camera to keep in the boat and wait, however long, until I caught the next fattie. You'll certainly get a bigger fish sooner or later.
Unsolicited Tip: Get a camera with a timer feature, so you can take a pic when you are fishing alone. |

Location: Lindenhurst, Illinois | I now carry three cameras in the boat. A poloroid, a digital and a disposable. Thanks for the responses. |
