[QUOTE="dukgnfsn, post: 259272, member: 596"] with my experience musky fishing in MN with my brother, when we get a big fish they are always pulled out of the net with a gill grab, they are kept in water until unhooked and all is ready for pictures and measurements and lifting those 20 to 30 lbs+ fish out of the net for the initial pull up is tough but we get them the second hand under and try to get them horizontal and supported as soon as possible. even with the initial pull up and holding that way until can get them horizontally supported those fish seen to do well and survival rates seem high. With that being said this is one group of fisherman that tries to give these fish every chance for survival. Some of these fish may be handled multiple times a year. [/QUOTE]
