over its gills naturally and "catch its breath".With camera and ruler at the ready, this dandy 43inch Musky was taken from the net. A couple of photos later, it was back in the water. I kept it upright with my hand on the tail as the gentle release motion passed water over its gills. After a few minutes, I could feel its tail tense and undulate in the side-to-side motion indicative of a healthy swim off. There were congratulations all around as we cleaned up the boat and made ready to move onto another Musky haunt. It was a well spent hour and a half resulting in a nice fish and an increase in confidence in the application of patience. Tight Lines
