in 2005 muskyhunter28 caught our first tiger musky it was so small we didn't even bother measuring it. 5 months and a few days later and about 100 feet from the release point our dad caught the very same fish, considerably bigger. so much so that we didn't notice it was the same fish till two years later and we were comparing stripe patterns and fin shapes. we photo everything and like to look at em when not on the water. anyhow when they are small they grow fast! duh
last week, muskyhunter28 caught a 43" fish which upon some picture comparisons turns out to be the 42.5" fish i caught almost a year ago about 300 yards from the same spot! this fish has a deformed gill and we named him Gill... the nice thing about digital camera's is that you can take a ton of photo's and do stupid stuff like this.
anyhow, i know there are a bunch of growth studies and such out there that say the same thing. but it's kind of cool knowing that the fish you caught and released really is going back to grow bigger to be caught again another day. though he bit on a completely different type of lure this time.
anyone else catch the same fish twice or more?
