Rich Nelson Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Every year there are posts about giant Muskies that turn out to be much smaller than originally claimed, so its understanding that people are skeptical. Everyones entitled to their opinion. It a big fish for sure, but IMO not 58 lbs unless she had a diet of rocks. Time will tell, because if its as big as claimed, then it will be the new record. If it isnt as big, it will be forgotten, and all the guys thinking it isnt that big will be right. Pics are deceiving, especially a "non traditional" shot of 2.5 guys holding it. Time will tell....

glen Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Yes if it is a record time will tell. Nice to see pics of big fish though. 59". Not many get that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Nelson Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 That's a dandy! Any time someone puts up a monster fish with stats their called a liar, sad fact Mike Probably because there are a lot of guys that are lying about the size... Or the first rumors that hit the forums have grown before the true facts come out. The fish is also dead, so people can say what they want. Ha ha There are lots of posts with Big Musky pics on this site from well respected members that no one questions, and there is only positive feedback. Not every musky post goes south like certain guys pretend they do. Lets face the facts... Certain guys cant read a tape or scale, and feel they need to add length or weight... I dont know if thats the case here, but like I said, we will soon find out. The ones actually being negative here are the ones whining about Musky posts going south. Everyone has an opinion, and is free to share it. Im willing to bet it isnt as big as claimed ( my opinion, not fact) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Nelson Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Heard an unconfimed report that it was verified by Michigan DNR. Could be a record after all... Gotta be a bass guy catchin it. Ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im willing to bet it isnt as big as claimed ( my opinion, not fact) More times than not there are skeptics to big fish pictured with stats listed, wasn't to long ago here that a pretty well respected member/guide was the target, some claimed it was the lense work. Sorry but that's just the way it is. Some won't even post pics of catches for this simple reason. Another thing, it's just not about the mighty muskie either, lots of other species get scutinzed as well. I'm really not wanting argue this matter, it's basically my opinion.

Any time someone puts up a monster fish with stats their called a liar, sad fact Mike Calm down dudes. Please don't make it sound like it's a community thing. Jealousy/envy gets to everyone.

Handlebarz Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I guess I was taken the wrong way I was reading other replies and saw how they were going and figured it was heading the wrong way. I was not complaining about the catch. I can not tell the size from the picture I just know its a big fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigger Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 A simple shot of the fish on the scale wouldve put alot of talk to sleep. Not that i care either way. Cant break a State record while in Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimeball Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 It looks like this muskie will be the new Michigan state record ( great lakes strain ). 59" and 58 lbs. caught on 8lb. test and minnow lake Bellaire. verified by Michigan Department of Natural Resources fisheries biologist Patrick Hanchin from the Charlevoix research Station. This fish is from the same chain of lakes that gave up the 50 lb. 8oz. record in 2009 (Torch Lake) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glen Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 They done well. Nice to see someone catch a big one and set a record in style. It is a big difference between the old and new record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoty Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Totally random question.... but IF this becomes a record... can more than one person's name be on it? Or would it technically be the person who "hooked" the fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
