Re: musky growth chart

Many muskies, where ever they are, grow at least 5" immediately when they are seen or landed, then shrink back to normal when released.<br /><br />I witnessed this phenomenon several times. One guide explained it to me after I had shouted, "OMIGAWD! Look at that monster! She must be over 50"." He smiled, and said, "JB, they are all over 50" in the lake. Some swell to 50" when landed. They both go back to 45" when we are gone." :D
