    I caught this guy last night while bass fishing, and since I was by myself I had enough going on getting him back in the water that I didnt measure the length. Please let me know your estimate.

    The irony is I have fished for musky 12 times in the past two years and never caught one. I need to stop trying more often…

    There’s nothing for perspective in your picture. I’d say it’s a nice one Good job on caring more about the fish than a length measurement.

    Congrats! Sorry I can’t help with a size estimate.

    How were you fishing when you hooked into it?

    It’s hard to say without knowing how big the net is.

    If I were to use the ruler I use when giving my wife measurements, I’d say it’s at least 72 inches.

    If you measured the mesh size of your net we could get you fairly close.

    Nice fish!

    Using multiple algorithms, my closest estimate would be “not as long as the net.”

    Take a tape measure and lay it in the net similar to the way the fish is laying in the net. Guestimate from there.

    I’d eyeball that fish in the 32-35 inch range.

    Thats 4″ mesh, so probably 107 inches or so.

    36-38.. I catch a ton of fish while bass fishing.. Just gives me more spots to fish when I am tossing.
