    Muskie fishin without a scale

    If you measured it what was the actual length and girth?

    If that fish is 24 inches then you might have the state record on your hands. I’ve caught and released a 22 and a 22 1/4 that both sat right around the 7lb mark. A 24 inch smallie is a whale of a fish. Hope you got some official measurements and weights of her.

    nope i had a scale but i later found out it was over a pound and a half off and it was going 5.5 so i didn’t think i had anything special. but like you say there might be a record smally in white bear still that i let go. i will be going for him again don’t get me wrong first its off to joes for a real scale. =/
