bronzeback Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I know many muskies are caught multiples times in their lives, even multiple times within a year. I'm just curious about whether or not anyone on this forum has caught a fish, then re-caught that fish later. This fish has seen my boat twice now, and I thought it was pretty interesting. Both times she hit boatside. and i'm much happier than I look, just bad timing. Gotta love catch and release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esox_Magnum Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 We boated the same fish twice last year 2 weeks apart by 2 different guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRedig Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Same lure? I got the same one 3 times last year in two weeks, all on topwater but different lure each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzeback Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Very similar lure. All of my other gear is in the metro, was out with 4 baits and a net last night. And it was just a little over 2 weeks apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEEK1223 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I love your buddy muskie fishing in a button down dress shirt!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poutpro Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 That shirt is just kept in the storage box and put on before pictures.How can you guys tell that the fish you are catching are the same? The 2 in this post don't even look alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brushhog80 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 The 2 black spots on the tail area give it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrowRiverRat83 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 But if you look at the coloring on the pelvic fin (lower middle) you can see a color difference right above it.The 1st fish has white above it where as the 2nd fish does not. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcook72 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Im guessing that white is from the flash since it is dark. Check out the dots at the base of the tail and move towards the head you can see the dots match up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainbutter Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 It has happened but not by me, same musky same week two people in my family fishing the same lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianLucky13 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I caught the same fish twice in one day. Theres one fish on the lake that I fish that Ive caught around 6-7 times. First caught it when it was 44 inches and as of the full moon last August it was 50.25 inches!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RK Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hiya - Caught the same fish 4 times one summer - fish had a big scar on her noggin so it was no question it was the same fish. All 4 times she was within maybe 25 feet of where she'd been caught or seen previously. Weird thing was she hit the same bait all 4 times (a purple Harasser). She'd follow other stuff sometimes, but only hit that Harasser... I lost her at least one other time too.Fish are weird.

Meat-Run Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hey Bronzeback nice fish! I was out this past friday and was hoping to see you out on the water but obviously no luck or we missed you that evening. Slow going, never even moved a thing not even a sm.mr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugoBox Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Not sure if I ever caught the same one but I know of 50Inchpig getting one that I messed up a bit (not proud of that but I was glad it lived.) More importantly what does the bottom of your boat look like - with fish like this coming up to it twice I want to paint mine to look the same!! Nice fish!!

bronzeback Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Aluminum with a bit of a scum line. And as far as him wearing that shirt, he came back to town that night from an interview in the metro area and I convinced him to get dropped off at the landing to fish. I'd say it was worth it. Anyone questioning that this is the same fish only needs to look at the 3 larger dots on the tail portion, or I can post a more detailed close up, but there's no question. It's cool to hear everyone else's stories similar to this, I'm hoping I see this girl again next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEEK1223 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I believe it is the same fish, The scaring toward the tail sold me....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
