TroutnMuskieHunter Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 ACcording to Muskies Canada weight estimation table, a 57"x33" Skie would weigh ~78lbs .....you'd think that a record fish like that would be gettin a bit more publicity instead of rumours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jediangler Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 I don't know about that girth measurement, sounds kind of unlikely. This is a 57"er here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weekend Angler Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Hi Folks; Not a rumour it's for real. One of our Ottawa members and his wife (who are having an outstanding year) were fishing with one of our Gan members. 57"x33" is the reported dimensions. With all the crap that's going to go with it they will probably wish they just bonked it... Glad to see it released though, awesome fish apparently. There are some good pictures that have been witnessed by a number of other members including the Gan chairman who has caught a 60" himself so he has some perspective on big fish. The pics won't be available until Sunday when they get back. Like everyone else I am waiting patiently... Editor Muskies Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cram Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Ya think Steve??? Where I come from, rumors are usually made of hype and lies and are kin to gossip.

Greencoachdog Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) You're calling someone a liar without knowing anything about the catch or the person who caught it. Nope! That was just my recipe for a rumor, and I didn't say always... I said usually. I also said it's that way where I come from, it may be different up there... but I doubt it. ... are you calling me an -hole?

I wonder if they'll vary from the "actual dimensions" If it was C&R, it won't be an IGFA world record. Edited November 30, 2008 by GCD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
