Muskieman Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) seems to me that the CM conversion is no where near the 59" mentioned in previous topics .... **** I'm not trying to start anything ...keep that in mind please. http://www.outdoorhub.com/news/two-new-potential-world-record-muskie-caught-released/ Edited December 13, 2013 by Randy from Sturgeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that how every fishing story goes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskieman Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 seems that way sometimes eh ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raf Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 this is a different story and unrelated to the 59" in other posts these are IGFA records now nobody has really bothered with. the current record is small and much bigger fish are caught annually nobody bothers submitting to the IGFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskieman Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 now that's an answer that makes sense .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowanjo Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 IGFA for reference sells a $75 Tool to measure etc to allow certification - this is in my opinion a nonsense record to make money and why no one cares. Feels like we are starting to get seven different boxing and wrestling federations. Nice fish however and no one should doubt the slobs caught great job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehg Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 this is a different story and unrelated to the 59" in other posts these are IGFA records now nobody has really bothered with. the current record is small and much bigger fish are caught annually nobody bothers submitting to the IGFA They are line class records, like record for 60 lb. braid or 50 lb. mono or whatever. They are 52 inch fish that look huge. Can't wait to see picture of rumoured 59 by 34 inch it must look massive. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 The scrutiny and doubt from the public that comes with applying for a world record fish would be enough for me to keep my mouth shut if I was ever lucky enough to catch one. It's not like it comes with a 6 figure cheque, or maybe it does through endorsements. I can hear the conversation, "what line did you catch it on?" How much is it worth if I told you it was your brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
