Posts: 223 | OK we had a video going during fight. I didn't take picture on bump board (dumb mistake) but I took these 2 screen shots off my computer. The tail on the top was broken up a bit but the bottom portion of the tail just made it to 50". Yes I know you can't see the whole fish on the bump board but this will have to do for Todd.

ShutUpNFish - 10/19/2015 12:37 PM I'd say low 30lb range no more than 35 for sure. Congrats on a great fish!
I agree and although that is a very nice fish, it takes a very-very special fish to have a true 23-24” girth in the lower 50” class. Nice Job!
Iowa Department of Natural Resources The fish in the photo was 50.9 inches long. It produced 5.5 lbs of eggs for the hatchery. This muskies was only 11 years old and was hatched at the Spirit Lake Fish Hatchery in 2003. The maximum girth, measured around the fish, was 24.2 inches. It looks like this fish has quite a bit of growth potential. Many of the female muskies in these lakes survive into their mid to late teens.
