Chris Gades didn't win the tiger muskie tournament he was fishing on This 50-inch fish measured 25 inches around and it wouldn't even open its jaws when they applied a jaw-spreader to get their lure back. They had to wait until the beast let go.
Chris borrowed his father Chuck's 10-inch swimbait, as a desperation move after a long, cold and wet day of unproductive fishing, and it turned out to be a good decision, according to Northwest Sportsman. He had to revive the fish, which he reports as being bigger than his 5-year-old son, for 15 minutes.
Chris ended up coming in second place, thanks to someone landing two 40-plus inchers.
