glen Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 You going to try to get your name on it? I guess if you gave them enough cash.
Stoty Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 You going to try to get your name on it? I guess if you gave them enough cash. Hahaha, not my species of target. Now, if it were a LM or SM....that's a whole different story!
Roy Posted October 18, 2012 Report 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? Only one name can appear on the application and that'd be the name of the person who hooked, fought and landed the fish.
glen Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 Glad you have a sence of humour Stoty. And thanks for the answer Roy.
Stoty Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 Only one name can appear on the application and that'd be the name of the person who hooked, fought and landed the fish. But in this case, didnt they say that it was a team effort, and all three had a hand in fighting/landing the fish? Does it go to the guy that "hooked" it?

Stoty Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 This is from the second link on the first page that was posted. "I'am the guy in the middle on the picture above. It was 58.0 lbs. and 59 inches long. I caught it on 8lb test line while fishing for big smallies on Bellaire. Took 2 hours and three guys to get it in the boat." Now...was he the only one fighting it, or did they take turns? Or Did he hook/fight it, and had help from the other two in landing it?
glen Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 That's what happened to the woman that caught a record marlin. Someone else had a turn on the rod and therefor no record. That was saltwater though. Different rules for different record keepers though. For a state record it may not matter
Roy Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 Let me clarify that. Friends will always say that it was a team effort. It's the right thing to say. But if one of the three was able to put the guy on the fish because of his knowledge of the water and another was very helpful because of his experience as a netman, it'll have been a 3 man effort but only the guy who set the hook, fought the fish and brought it to the net will get credit for the record.
Roy Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 Well, it's a great fish, they're to be congratulated and I'm sure that Michigan authorities will sort it all out if it needs sorting out.
glen Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) Why would he hand over the rod . It's a muskie not a marlin. I hope it's ok. I like what Roy says about a team effort. That's the way I see it when I Am on big fish. Edited October 18, 2012 by glen
Slimeball Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 Joe Seeberger (guy in the middle) fought the fish himself. The others only aided in lifting it in the boat....
Stoty Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 Joe Seeberger (guy in the middle) fought the fish himself. The others only aided in lifting it in the boat.... I guess that answers my question then! Thx Slimeball, lol
glen Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) From a post that started as a rumour we have done well. Thank you for putting this story up and keeping the info coming. Some people are surprised about the ending. I am impressed by how much the old record was beat. This is one of the big ones we all try to catch. I hope people realize how great a fish it is.

Billy Bob Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 I don't know if the fish was a record or not....don't really care... BUT there is DEFINITELY a NEW RECORD HERE.......a discussion of a probable muskie record without the thread being LOCKED...

muskeybugged Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 My first pot stir on the board... Sorry to the mods in advance... http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/gallery/fishing/2012/10/pending-michigan-state-record-muskie?photo=0#node-1001478815 Look at the second page of the story, there is a video of the fish. 2 hours after the fight and who knows how long after that - the fish still struggling for a breath. They took a legal fish, Great! They killed it, they're entitled too.... But kill it humanly.
Rich Nelson Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 Kill it humanely? Cmon... Im sure you have no problem ramming a bunch of hooks into a fish yap...
