What size Muskie would you get a replica made for?

Just kind of curious as to everyones opinion on this...

What size Muskie would you consider having a replica made? I landed my first decent sized Muskie, 50 incher this weekend, and released it. Everyone is now asking me if I am going to have a replica made, and I really haven't made up my mind yet.

50 inches is considered to be the bar that most musky hunters aim for. Most would get a replica of a released 50 incher, unless of course they already had a mount of one larger.

Cheers and tight lines,
Musky Mike

Congrats on a nice fish and I'm glad to hear you let her go. It can cost you anyware from 600 to 900 smackers to get a reproduction . You gotta ask yourself if you want to shell out that kind of dough ? you can almost half way fill a tackle box with that kinda of CA$H .

But that fish sure would look nice on your wall .



Good hunting

Nobody else has any thoughts on the size it would take, or has taken for you to get a replica made?

i would do it on a 50". everyone has there personal goal but a 50" muskie is a trophy anywhere you go.

i got a 52" on vermilion and a replica made. it is my absolute treasure in my house and something everyone who sees it admires.
i have it in my living room in between 2 trophy bucks. people say the bucks are nice but they are in awe of that muskie.

good job on your catch and good luck with the mount if you proceed.

I got 2 over 50" this year and still want a bigger fish (54" +)

I've had two replicas made. One is a 52" and the other a 51". Waiting for a nice big tiger before I do it again. I agree that 50" is probably a good starting point but the beauty of replicas is that you can always decide later if you want a fish reproduced. So maybe you decide a year or so down the road that you want one of a 46" for example, who's to say you can't?

Hey,

My answer to this question is relative to your personal best. Once I think I have it, that's the one that gets the graphite-I wanted to do my 53" but then this year I ran into a mother of a 55", so I might get the 55" unless I think I can get one with a bigger girth (I'll keep fishing).

Thanks
