rock on! thats a monster, some people are just jealous.....

that looks like a good one, what is the length and weight on her?
-
Nice fish,Jaz! How big was she? It looks to be about 53". Did ya get her out of the river?
-
rock on! thats a monster, some people are just jealous.....
Are you kidding me?jealous?No conservation minded YES
you could have had a repo done and it'd look much much better.
That fish is prolly 15 years old and in prime spawning age.

Actually, a musky will typically live 8-10 years under prime conditions. That fish was at, or nearing, the end of it's life. No shame in keeping that fish. I love how so many people consider themselves to be fish police. If it's legal and within the season, nobody should criticize or scrutinize anyone for keeping a legal fish. That's their choice. No need to bash someone for keeping a big fish if they please. I would have mounted that bad boy too!
Great fish Joe!

Just about 53".

Thanks for taking a look!

8-10 years?where in a tiny pond?
Muskys in the niagara river and lake erie will and have lived up to 20 year's!!!!!
I guess some people dont understand the reason why these fish grow to be so big is by catch and release,and im not a fish police as you say i am.
It just rubs me the wrong way when some body thinks they have to kill such a great fish just to mount it,when you can get a reproduction made that will last so much long and not kill a musky of that class.But i guess people just wont understand that til there are no more musky's around.

HARDWATER347,
I was trying to stay out of this rant, but I just could not!
I was not targeting Muskies, I was casting stick baits for walleyes, after dark none the less.
1ST off the muskie was bleeding allot.
2ND I did not have a measuring tape with me to take measurements for a replica. I did know that it was the biggest that I had ever caught. In my 25 years of fishing THE RIVER, I have caught 25 to 30 muskies that all have been released.
Did you ever hear the saying? "If you do not have anything nice to say, say nothing at all."
By the way, I'm Northeast Hawg Haulers bass club president and tournament director. I fish local, regional, and national bass tournaments. I would never post negative things about people posting pics of harvested bass, that is their right.
HAVE A NICE DAY!

Sad to see a nice fish gone. I wish all states would close their seasons during the winter and spring till after spawn. Look at the leading muskie states and see why they are tops in the game.
I know you can't help what bites, just sad to see a prime fish gone. BTW bass are prolific reproducers and can withstand harvesting, muskies take years to mature and survival rates are among the lowest.
-
esox_magnum,
In PA, the Susquehanna River is heavily stocked with muskies by the PA Fish & Boat Commission.
This River is very under utilized for targeting muskies. Every year in the heat of the summer, many, many muskies parish and wash a shore.
I'm sure that by me "HARVESTING" this muskie, the fishery will not collapse.

You are comparing apples to oranges.bass threive,musky's take way to long to get to that size.
-
hardwater347,
Do you really think that?
Let's go by your ageing method.
My muskie, you said 15 years old and in its prime.
Tell me the age of a 5 lb., 21" smallmouth bass out of any of the Great Lakes.

-
JAZII did you ever hear the saying " in one ear out the other"? Nevermind Hardwater, he's jelous! It's in season!!! End of story!!! Personally I would have kept it too, IT'S A FISH OF A LIFE TIME!!!!!! With that said...... CONGRADULATIONS!!! ;D ;D
-
I doubt any true muskie guy is jealous he caught that, I'm not. What burns us is the public mishandling from someone who claims to be somewhat of a muskie guy, kept or not. We treat our fish better than that even in the event they die on the hookset.
As far as age, we net fish every spring and find many in the 15-20 year old class and muskies do have up to a 30 year life span. If you have so many summer floaters I would think your DNR would realize it's wasting money ( and lots of it) missmanaging a non or under utilized fishery. I also know from living in PA the attitude I found was, if it's not trout its trash.

how do you mistreat a dead musky?there teeth are way to sharp to perform cpr
-
If your going to display to the public dead or not at least show proper handling. IE holding vertical by the gills is not proper.

Do you not understand i am far from jelouse!!!!!!!!!
Ive released bigger ski's.my biggest todate is 54.5
Esox you pretty much hit the nail on the head with the if its not trout its trash in pa.
They dont respect the ny waters why would they respect theres?
Im a very dedicated musky fishermen,i am 100% catch and release and the musky organization i belong to got the lake erie/upper river on the american side size limit bumped from 48 to 54 for the reason stated these fish take so long to get to the legal size there not worth keeping anyways.
And im glad pa stocks musky's like they do as i fish glen dale res,kinzu every year and every fish i catch is pic'd and released.
-
WOW!
esox,
Where did you get the info that I was "kind of a muskie guy"? I have not and do not target muskies. They just seem to like the lures that I throw for big walleyes. All of the muskies that I have caught at THE RIVER have come while I was targeting walleyes.
Miss handling, right, it was allready dead. Even as big as it was, I would have let it go if it was not bleeding as bad as it was.
RELEASING ANY FISH TO DIE IS A TRUE WASTE!
Yes, many dead floaters in the heat of the summer. Two muskies that I know of that were reported to the PA F&BC being dead on THE RIVER in the past were state record class muskies.
That is probably one reason PA F&BC changed our regs to open all year and increased the size limit to 40"
hardwater,
You still did not answer my age question for the bass.
How did posting a pic get to bashing all PA fisherman?
PA F&BC does waste allot of money, especially on TROUT.
Now I will bash a few of you.
Most muskie and fly fishermen are like elitist, they think their **censored** doesn't stink and everyone else is allways in the wrong.
PEACE OUT!

ok ok ok this might sound stupid, BUT i've seen too many people tell other people not to hold a fish verticle. WHY. I'm not trying to be a d***. I've just never heard of that before.
-
For a fish like a muskie, you need to support its body weight. Holding it with the gills puts massive strain on it, and its internal organs can be damaged. They are designed to be horizontal.

Nice fish JAZII, a Trophy fish of a lifetime. I would have kept her too. Some people love to bash people that are good at what they do.I've been bashed about keeping big bulls and crappies. Congrats on a Trophy fish and keep what you want,I do!

huh! I never knew that. That does make alot of sense! Thanks JAZ

ESOX and HARDWATER,
Just to keep this on the friendly side.
If you wanted to contact me, I could probably put you guys on some great untapped muskie fishing. I would love to go with someone that specializes in fishing for them.
I do not target them just for some of the reasons you guys stated.
Like netting and handling, I do not have the equipment to do it properly.
IT WOULD BE FOR CATCH, PHOTO, and RELEASE ONLY!

Nice Muskie neighbor, a catch of a lifetime, Congratulations!
-
I wish I had know there were muskies when I lived out there, not sure where you fish but I lived West of Uniontown. My muskie friends I had out there all went to Canada to fish.
BTW we are not holier than thou types we just work hard to improve the fisherys and in the education end of it. I do release all I catch for muskies but know someday I'll get one that won't swim away. We put 6 back last year alone off our waters at or over 50", biggest was a 52 1/4 and there was never once a thought about keeping it. We have spent 40 years getting our waters to trophy potential and working hard on improving and protecting what we have.
I do fish for about anything else except trout, done it, caught them and just no interest there. I love walleye fishing, chase about anything that bites through the ice but once muskie season opens 99.9% of my times hunting them. I'll so called bash anyone mistreating/mishandeling any fish if portrayed in an indecent manner.
-
i love the first picture in the dark, im finding myself opening this thread again and again waiting for musky season to open in new york! :(
-
ok ok ok this might sound stupid, BUT i've seen too many people tell other people not to hold a fish verticle. WHY. I'm not trying to be a d***. I've just never heard of that before.
When you hold large fish vertically it can and will seperate ligaments and tear muscles in their neck/head area...Yeah they'll swim off but your just prolonging their death. Nice musky by the way!!! I dont blame you at all for taking this one out of the system for the wall...Just wait till you get it back.. Youll love it, they look gorgeous!

Man you guys are tools. That is a very nice fish and if he chooses to kill it and mount it, you have no right to give him *rap. If everything was done legally, that's his prerogative...you can't make that decision for him.
If I caught a 6lb landlocked salmon out of any Maine waters, you better believe that it would go on my wall.....and that would be my decision only. I can't believe how many people out there think that they should be personally enforcing their own fishing standards on the rest of us. If I were him, I'd tell you to go pound sand and mind your own business.
Nice fish buddy

Nice Muskie. :clap:

Nice muskie but in the first pic when you cought it there is way to much blood kinda makes me have a weak stomach hahaha ;D

not much color to them fish, good catch nontheless -moose

GREAT fish brotha most definately a trophy, any tips on targeting musky or walleye for that matter I have only fished for them a few times mostly with live bait sittin on the bottom only got 1 under my belt so far
-
Jaz11 You are the man.Not only do I druel over the pictures of the perch you catch now you pull this out. You obviously put in your time and have alot of knowledge .What is even more impressive is that you catch such quality fish on public waters. I hope to one day meet you out on the ice ,shake your hand and say congrats.

Amen to that i cant belive some of the people on here if it was that big of a deal to keep a fish like that it wouldnt be legal
-
they look a little white for muskie. is there acidic h2o there?
-
Very Nice fish. I have only cuaght a couple through out the years ice fishing. I am sure this one fish will not effect the fishery in the river. I can name dozens of time though where i have seen them cuaght and kept out of season . These are the people that dont get on these sites and even care what regs say or do for fisheries. It is nothing to see a group of minoritys catching everything under the sun and throwing it in the bucket every spring. So if you feel like running your mouth, why dont you go find some one that deserves it. They might enjoy a leason in fishing regs.
-
That's weird that you caught it off the ice but not out of it.
-
And here I go. BEAUTIFUL fish. That would be on my wall as well. I we don't have Muskies here. Tigers and Pike though. I release all my Pike and Tigers because I don't eat them. And I like to see them get bigger. I don't get on other people for keeping them. Get the runts out so the big ones can get bigger. Helps with overpopulation. My biggest is 41" I'll tell you what, I get one 45" in season and it'll be on my wall. I understand and respect the replicas to save the fish. But then it's not really "your fish" on the wall. You respected the laws and no one can give you stuff about that. The only thing that chaps my cheeks is when an angler has to keep everything they catch. If you keep going to the same spot day after day and taking everything you catch that will hurt the fishery. Take all the fish today, no fish left for tomorrow. I know the laws state what they state, but have a little common sense. Ok. There's my piece. Great fish buddy. You did nothing wrong. :thumbsup: :icefish:
-
What a joke you are JAZII. Why lie about the fish and say it was bleeding so bad I just had to keep it. Why don't you just say "I wanted to put it on my wall". People would have more respect for you if you didn't lie. The fish is laying on the snow without a drop of blood anywhere near it, and the lure is still in it's mouth. Where's all the blood? The proof is in the picture, you can't even find a fishing partner who would go with you because you're such a tool. It's funny, all of your pictures are from a tripod mounted camera. It must be an enjoying experience to catch such a large fish and have to post it all over the internet because you don't have any friends that even care to look, or better yet go fishing with you. By the way, very nice muskie! They always said it's lonely at the top. It's too bad you didn't have a fishing buddy to share the catch with.
-
Very Nice Fish!! ;D Sorry that you got caught in the crossfire. You caught the fish legally, the state DNR set the size and bag limits and you followed them. END OF STORY. Congratulations!!

Dude, GET REAL. I have more fishing buddies than you could ever dream of.
Pics from a tripod? Most of my pics have been taken by the people fishing with me.
Did you ever think that I might have moved the MUSKIE from the spot where it bleed, to take a CLEAN looking pic?
Anytime you would like to see what it looks like from the top, give me a call. My phone number is in the book. You just might be able to learn something.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I just cant seem to understand why some here think that keeping that fish was a bad thing,first of all none of you guys were there, second the fish comm. puts the size limit and season on the fish for a reason. but somehow people think that keeping a fish like that is wrong,well I have to say you guys are wrong. just because you got a fishin pole and licence dont make you a bioligist.you guys need to chip in some cash and buy yourselfs a lake of your own because after all the susky is open to the public. and jaz congrats on that fish. Im still trying for my slammer muski and if I ever do get one Im not telling anyone HA HA.. might bump into to you down the someday jaz. hit the point if you know where that is
-
Great fish JAZZ :o @) I see no foul!? I can't believe these guys coming at you like that. Being nasty never gets a point across.
-
no matter were you go people have issues with people keeping big fish ??? maybe i should of put back the ones i had mounted?
-
great fish
-
woooooooooweeeeeeeee now thats a ski!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:
-
hey jazz don't stoop to the level of childish rants of those who cant respect a fellow fishermen who caught a fish of a lifetime. just ignore those who cant respect a man who wants to LEGALLY keep the fish he catches. Now if you would of said you just keep it to eat it i could see a problem but the fact that you mounted that hawg and will enjoy that fish for many years to come makes it a priceless memory that no immature hater can take from you.
CONGRADULATIONS nice fish my friend!!!!!!!
-
The bottom line is that you managed to be lucky enough to catch a beautiful specimen. Regardless of what you chose to do with it( I would have had it mounted as well) I do support replicas but if you don't have a tape measure with you take the fish home. I also respect the fact that you didn't release a mortally wounded fish that would have just died anyway. But opinions are like buttholes, we all have them. Just congratulate the man and keep yours to yourself. Heck of a fish man. I am jealous.
-
pretty sad you had to kill it.... :%$#!:
-
Hello Goatskin, I have a good release.About 10 secondes out of the water.I practice only catch and release.
-
Big fish....wish i had muskie where i like
-
I practice catch and release 99 percent of the time, but if I caught that I would do the same thing.Great job jazz and to all you people bashing him you're all idiots..Great fish
-
Is this the last BIG MUSKIE in N.Y.!Give me a break.I know western N.Y. waters that are over populated with BIG muskies.Nice trophy man,you will look at her remember that day forever. FISH HARD WELCHY
-
All fish must die. What's wrong with you people. No mercy.
-
i feel safer now that that sow is dead....
-
that thing is huge
-
This is the reason I don't post fish pictures...and also because I don't catch many. Great fish !!!
-
nice musky, n stop complaining people u bunch of little girls, a fish that big already served its purpose n obviously u guys 2 ignorant 2 see that! peace out, if you wana take this conversation further lets do it
-
Your jealous little crybabies should be ashamed of yourselves!!
I'd like to think a person could post a picture of a great fish without all the armchair quarterbacks climbing out of the closet and expressing their conservation beliefs!
If you guy's can't contribute something positive to his thread...start your own ???
JazII congrats to a truely amazing fish! :bow:
right on yo
-
Im not trying to take anything away from him because it is in fact a great catch but it seems that everytime i hear of a big muskie being caught they end up dead on the wall. That can't last forever and it won't be long before there are no more hogs. :tipup:
-
Unbelievabe fish bud...
Wish we had more of them around here!!
way to go :tipup:
-
This is the reason I don't post fish pictures...and also because I don't catch many. Great fish !!!
Me too I will not post fish pictures...for muskie! ;)
-
its pretty sad that one man like jazz putting a pic of his trophy and sharing it with all of us to also enjoy is making such a fuss to some of you and giving him digs about keeping and mounting what is rightfully his and his decisions to make so how dare you judge him. and its also sad that other guys wont even share their pics cuz of jerks like you if someone post a pic of there fish just say good job or great fish and leave your negitive comments in your head were they belong.
-
im not being negative and like ive said before its a great catch but yet again if everyone keeps these size musky there won't be any left period. Im not harping on him im stating what i firmly believe in. And this is what this is meant to be for, sharing tips ideas and stories. Everyone needs to quit being so sensitive
-
i agree with the if everyone keeps them this size there wont be any and your right but this was jazz's first fish that size and he had never caught one close to that size in a spot he says he has fished for years so it truely is a fish to remember and your also right that this site is for sharing tips ideas and stories but not negitive personally opinions thats what the grumpy old men thread is for not somones picture page am i right? and goatskin your right you were not being negitive but there are some on here that were and that pisses me off that a guy cant share his fish with others without being jumped on by for keeping HIS fish.
-
no matter what state you live in,when you purchase a license, in the rule book is a chart showing fish species and the dates the season is open. when someone catches the fish of a lifetime, that license entitles them to either CPR or make that fish a part of their daily bag limit.to all the whiners,GROW UP.get out and do some fishing, you will have less time to whine about a big fish that you probably wish YOU would have caught but didn't. I would like to take this time to say congrats to JAZII on a beautiful catch.that fish left it's genes behind to grow other monsters.

haha im all for what you guys are saying, he has every right to keep it. But how do you figure that fish "served its purpose"... makes no sense. Then you call others ignorant? Its kind of ironically ignorant of you lol..
-
i dont see why people get so upset about keeping a fish there are other ones out there nice catch by the way
and you clearly dont understand musky ethics, growth rates, Fish per acre percentages, and so on...

JAZZ....That was truly an awesome fish. And I HATE the "holier than thou's" out there. I do believe in catch and release, but if someone decides to keep a fish to have it mounted...and it is within THE LAW...well then MORE POWER TO THEM !!! I have dead fish as well as repo's on my wall. And anybody that has a problem with that can kiss my hairy white **ENTER EXPLETIVE HERE**. Do me a favor though...when you get the mount back(or if you already have), post a pic of it...I'd love to see how it turned out. And to all the nay sayers on the ancient thread....the DNR has set laws..laws that we all have to follow....and if someone does something that falls well within those laws, but you don't think it's right....go to your DNR and try to get the laws changed...but if you aern't going to do that, then just keep your mouth shut...some of you really embarrassed yourself and don't even realize it.

what the hell are you guys talking about? are you dumb? i never once said i had a problem with him keeping it, if you actually READ (do you know how to read?).. if you actually read the thread i said SEVERAL times i had no problem with him keeping it... the reason i said this REDICULOUS thread should be deleted is because stuff like THIS starts huge arguments on this website... and he refreshened the thread because he was "bored"...this thing was dead and buried and he brought it back up to the top. thats rediculous. a mod should definitely freeze or delete this end of story..

northennyice....first off..I am certainly not "dumb"....and secondly...I never mentioned nor referred to your post/posts on this subject (and definitely did not "quote" them as you did mine)...in fact I was speaking more from personal experience than I was to posts on this thread. If you have such an issue with this thread, here's an idea...Quit Reading It.

I was the one who referred to this thread as ancient. You specifically called that out.. Who the hell else we're you referring to? Me, obviously. Then you went rambling on about laws and rights.. Your not getting my point. A thread like this is so extremely debatable.. People saying "you shouldn't kill that fish." people like you saying " it was clearly his right to keep it and no one else's choice." it's just a constant argument. Your proving that.. And all I was getting at is it's rediculous.

thats an awesome fish, those pics got me fired up to go after one now

Muskies have been shot and clubbed boatside for decades. Every legal fish killed. Who hasnt seen old fishing lodge pics with poles covered with giant dead hanging pike and muskies from the 50s and 60s? And we have more muskies now than ever!! I'll be the 1st to admit catch and release and stocking is why. Fishing is far more technical now and people are able to really target and catch muskies so if we acted like that today we'd really wreck what we have. With todays gear, knowledge, and methods I dont think it would take long to wreck the fishery. That said anybody who wants to keep a fish for the wall has my blessing. Every musky ive caught has been released so far but im gonna kill 1 50" or better fish in my lifetime and I cant see how thats gonna hurt anything. Anyone who would comment against, look down their nose, badmouth me for doing so should waste their time elsewhere. All the above is just my opinion,just the way i see things. Im not gonna pretend to be some sort of fisheries biologist like some of the real obnoxious loudmouths who posted before. What the heck our state funded fisheries bioligists...........t he real deal, says I can keep 1 40 incher a day year round............. every day!!!! And this guys musky of a lifetime, dead, and the way he holds it annoys some of you!?!?!?! GROW UP!!!!
Thats a great fish and you caught it around 8 miles from my house congrats several years later!!!

Nice rant. Got time to tell me your life story again?? Get real joker.

Anyone ever try eating one?

I got lots of time. But first tell me what kind of bitter little princess would ever post the following on an internet fishing message board?!?!?!

RAU.....He's a Big Tough Guy when he is sitting safely behind his keyboard at home. It is just unfortunate that people like that are allowed access to websites that are filled with mostly great guys. It is just funny to me that he is the one who has said that this thread needs to be removed, yet he is the one who keeps stirring it up and keeping it going. Oh...and RAU....here is a prediction for you....it is obvious that he is the type of person who (while sitting safely behind his keyboard at home) has to have the last word....I'll start the stop watch now and we will see how long it takes him to respond on the thread that he thinks should be deleted because it is ancient.
-
Lol it has nothin to do with sitting behind a keyboard. I'm about 6'2 240 and not sweating a single one of you pan fishing tools.. People say stuff on the Internet. That's how it goes... Or perhaps you guys have never been on Facebook or topix.. Quit getting so butt hurt.

Out of hand, this thread needs a big ole padlock :-\
-
Somebodys got a big poop face ;D :roflmao: Thats what I tell my eight year old daughter when she gets grumpy too
-
You guys need to stop whining. Honestly this thread is over a year old. Im with northernnyice, just stop talking...
-
How about this, deleate all the comments and let the pics FLY.
JAZII

Joe,
I cant believe all the comments on this. I mean you caught a great (i would say once in a lifetime but seeing all your pics I would be willing to bet that you will beat that one) Fish.
Maybe everybody will have ice soon so they can quit bickering over pictures of fish and actually catch some of their own.
I hope we have spme ice soon so we can start chasing those big Perch.
Dave

I'll be the first to admit I'm the main culprit here. But it's not due to lack of ice. I've been fishing for about a week. Happy new years everyone get home safe.
-
Jumbo!!!
-
I've caught plenty of muskie bass fishing Lake St. Clair, but never any to that magnitude... Very nice fish, I am still waiting for a monster like that.
-
Nice fish , caught legally keep it or release it your choice . If it was dying I would have also kept it . Man thats HUGE!!
-
You know we all pay for our right to fish and keep whatever we want so for those of you that dont like it to bad. Its his right to keep whatever he wants just like its his right to have a gun no difference.

From going back through this thread and seeing a couple of the ranters on here, gotta say if I caught a fish like that and decided to keep it for whatever reason, and I was fishing alongside somebody that started giving me a R.O.S., I'd tell 'em I was keeping it just to grind up and feed to homeless cats just to annoy them a bit more.
He caught it legally, stated it was bleeding heavily (not like that matters) and kept it. His right to do so.

Must of been an awesome fight jiggin that thing up
-
should i keep this thread going for another year by asking if vex or marcum is better?? ;D ;D ;D

This coming from one of the biggest spoons in this stinky pot of manure.
-
Haha woo!! That's me, a big ol spoon... I was actually arguing to get this thread frozen. I've seen threads get frozen for MUCH less banter.. Maybe this one is just a free for all??

Once in a life time fish....Congrats!
Where the hell is NEPA :) Wish we grew them that big here :'(
