[QUOTE="Up Y'oars, post: 101177, member: 764"] The fight was on for 15-20mins! The beast came out of the water three times, much like a swordfish does; flopping in mid-air. In hindsight, the fish was probably close to dead by the time we got him out of the water. He gave everything he had. My arms were sore just trying to keep the rod in an upright position. As we got him near the boat the fish was snapping it's mouth like a gator. My brother-in-law used the rubber landing net just to cover the head of this muskie, and I on the small of the tail, and we hoisted him into the boat. Yes, Duckslayer, this photo was after we pulled him back out of the water (2nd time) knowing he was coming home with us. The next obstacle was finding an approved weigh station with large enough scale. Most have only 25# scales, or the 50# scale doesn't have large enough platform for the size of this behemoth. We weighed a 5gal bucket first and then laid the fish across that to find the exact weight. Both ends of the body almost touched the counter, even with the bucket and scale underneath. [/QUOTE]
