My partner and I were talking on the boat ride back to the truck about keeping a fish of that caliber. I just don’t think I could do it. I don’t think I could kill one. I always hope that I can catch a fish like that down the road again, hopefully bigger. Guess it just comes from my love for muskie fishing.
Disclaimer: All of this will fly out the window of course when it is 18 lbs , but till that happens they will all be going back.
Notice my slightly goofy expression in the picture (other than the one I was born with), I was in awe.
