Huge Musky Caught on a Figure 8 

Always nice to have a good net man!

Thanks!

Thanks! It’s so important especially when those water temperatures reach the high 70’s to low 80’s. It becomes extremely dangerous to those fish

@@EsoxChasers Nothing worse than catching a giant and then watching it die. Nobody needs that guilt...lol

@@joshuasterling2144 that guilt stays with you for a long time. I had a 43inch that died 14 years ago and I still remember the horror of it.

@@EsoxChasers What did you do with the dead musky? Did you eat it? I wood never keep one for food but I have wondered what those fuckers taste like. I'm guessing probably close to pike since they're similar races like a swedish and norwegian or a iranian and iraqi.

They’re very similar! They belong to the same Genus (Esox), but are 2 different species. Musky grow larger and are found in a much smaller area than Pike, which can be found all over the US, Canada, and Europe. Lots of other differences but those are some of the basics. Lots of great resources online to read more about the similarities/differences!

Definitely right! Although I didn’t want to take any chances! Beautiful fish
