What to do with a 60"

[Red Childress]

We have discussed what we would do with a 50 inch fish but let's flirt with the incredible feat of catching a 60.

Do you kill her or release her??


I honestly do not have an answer sitting behind this computer. It "would" be a game time decision for me, I suppose

Red, I don't think there would be any question that the 50" gal should be released. Take pictures, measurements, etc. Then go have a glass replica made. They look great and the fish lives to possibly provide a great experience for another person. Maybe we should take that one step further, make all musky catch and release only. 30",40" ,50",60" released to fight another day

Release. It would be a personal accomplishment and I wouldn't give a damn who did/didn't believe the tape. BTW... I would love to have problems like that.

And...I would never tell a soul where the fish was caught.

We talked about this while on Chautauqua this past weekend. My best answer is to take a picture of the fish on the bump board and let her swim. What would you do with a dead 60" muskie besides get it mounted and maybe a record? Let her swim and get a good replica made.

If it was a world record for sure. I would thump it just so I'd never have to read another "LOUIE" post! LOL!

I guess for me it would be a game time decision. If it had a 30" + girth, I think I would thump it. I hope I have the problem of having to decide this some day!!!
