Back in 2009 my first musky trip, trolling with big suckers we did fairly well... 14 in 2 nights 3 days, only found these two pics.
Biggest was 49"

Please please please I can't stress this enough. Hold fish how they swim. When fish are in the water they don't feel the forces of gravity that we as humans have become accustomed too. Hold fish like that not supporting the belly and literally the guts of the fish puts TREMENDOUS stress on them. So much so it can permanately harm them.
