muskymatt Posted August 2, 2018 Report Posted August 2, 2018 I see two things wrong with this post! That is nowhere near a record Muskie Ange is as weak as a little girl! 2
chris.brock Posted August 2, 2018 Report Posted August 2, 2018 yeah, what's with Ang bear hugging the thing with all the slime ending up on his jacket???

chris.brock Posted August 3, 2018 Report Posted August 3, 2018 Yeah, he's likely got a box full of those jackets at home, lol. I'm talking about proper fish handling techniques, especially since that is a highly esteemed, big specimen of a muskie.

lew Posted August 3, 2018 Report Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) Muskies are extremely slimy and big ones are very strong and holding them in the proper manner isn't always possible and sometime a "bear hug" just happens, specially when your alone, but if you hang on tight you should be able to win the struggle hahaha Edited August 3, 2018 by lew 1

This fish could have eventually been a world record........... except you took all the slime off of it and probably killed it.
jimmer Posted August 3, 2018 Report Posted August 3, 2018 It doesn't look much bigger than Lew's fish considering it's a great lakes fish (unless Lew's is a great lakes also, lol). I don't think the fish will die..

Reef Runner Posted August 3, 2018 Report Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) Without any measurements talk of world record is fruitless, me thinks that was a click bait move. Fish had Shoulders! Nice fish regardless! I've had to bear hug a slimmer or two in my day. It isn't "proper" handling but it happens, worse if he dropped the big girl. Looks like the fish swam away healthy. That's a dandy fish Lew, super clean. Edited August 3, 2018 by Reef Runner
AKRISONER Posted August 3, 2018 Report Posted August 3, 2018 lmao "world record" i have a feeling the guides on G bay that catch 60"s might have something to say about that.

The St. Lawrence is loaded with monster fish and holds many, many "world record" size fish, including Lake St. Francis, don't ever rule it out.

Those Nip fish miss you

JoshS Posted August 3, 2018 Report Posted August 3, 2018 If you know of anyone who's caught a 60 on gbay please share! They are just trying to generate some interest. They could of omitted world record talk though. You can't be mad at the fish hold. That's a real nice fish regardless. That fish must of felt great Lew!

jimmer Posted August 3, 2018 Report Posted August 3, 2018 I used to be a taxidermist and the largest muskie I mounted was a 57" fish that weighed in the 40's. Out of the St. Lawrence. Anglers love to exaggerate. LOL That is not close to a record.

I honestly don't know jimmer but I spose it's likely as they definitely have similar markings. This is a Lake St. Francis (St. Lawrence River) fish with some very interesting markings. This is another I got the same day. And this big girl came from the same area 10 or 12 years ago Edited August 3, 2018 by lew 1

The guys catching monsters on Gbay aren't the sharing kind. They are being caught however.
ketchenany Posted August 4, 2018 Report Posted August 4, 2018 in one of my Ontario fishing books (2000) the record Muskie came out of GBay and was 65 lbs. I don’t have the date at the top of my head, but it was caught by a ‘rookie” he also “hugged” it. need to save them for the future. Lew has done that a for us. Thanks.
chris.brock Posted August 4, 2018 Report Posted August 4, 2018 Ken O'Brian caught the 65 pounder, Moon River area, in the fall, allegedly 8 or 10 lbs test line and a small Rapala. Ang Viola's fish doesn't seem to be thrashing, he just bear hugs it for no reason in the video.
ketchenany Posted August 4, 2018 Report Posted August 4, 2018 I’l l post pictures I have with details. John Kerr was my editor. Chris that sounds right.

Old Ironmaker Posted August 4, 2018 Report Posted August 4, 2018 I must have missed the Cooooper Tire and Dodge Ram plugs during the world record catch somehow. Fake news boys and girls. Fake news.
