61" Muskie caught on Mille Lacs?

[S.D. Ice Angular]

I read some where it was a Canada lake

[ponzie]

Crane Lake

[Paul Waldowski]

Actually it was caught in Ontario

[Carp-fisher]

Hmmmm....could this be a new world record?

[nater]

Great muskie Fish&Fowl can't wait to see the pics!!

[dblock]

Sweet! I can't wait to read this story, and see the pics!

[Hoffer]

Ontario?

Eagle or Manitou I am guessing...

61 is an awesome fish..but that isnt near world record pace is it??..... or is it?

[JRedig]

Ontario yields a lot of choices...how about some photoshopped teaser pics? C'mon...that'd be fun!!

Or how about a girth measurement? That'll really turn people into guessing freaks!

[propster]

No world record, he released her. Good for him. And good for the rest of us!

[Hoffer]

No world record as far as official - cause it was a C and R...but how about the possibility "IF" it was kept?

61 inches is that enough? Depending on girth...it just may be.

This one measured only "58 inches"..but had an enormous girth of 30.5 inches for a total of 65 pounds...

Its an Ontario... caught about a month 2 months ago... 61 legit and swimming my source says... short fight swam good... so they tell me...

[BoxMN]

Congrats F&F! Can't wait to hear the story and see pics. This muskie stuff may get me someday... in the meantime you guys keep catching the pigs

Jeff, heard you did good, cool

[setterguy]

Don't know if anyone else had heard this or not, but I talked to a guy that is in the know, and he said the fish was actually 61 pounds. Not 61 inches. I guess we will all know soon enough when the story does officially come out, either way that is a monster fish.

[Cooter]

This might explain why the 58.5" is not lunker of the month. Can't wait for pics!

[ryanmitchell]

This post has been going for 4 days and there is still no verification? How big was that on that Dale dude caught on the St. Lawrence river last year. Lax had a reproduction made for the Chicago Musky show. That fish was ridiculous.

You do realize the person who caught it has posted in this thread?

[50inchpig]

LOL, I heard it was caught out of that metro lake that Redig refuses to name

[Cooter]

Its Lake Nunyer - don't you pay attention? For some reason though I can't find it on a map anywhere

Lake Nunyer Business?

[JRedig]

Lakes over 400 acres need not apply...

[setterguy]

I guess I didn't read that. Sorry. My source was pretty reliable but with a phenomenon like this there are bound to be plenty of stories.

Can't wait to see it and hear about it.

Its IMPOSSIBLE to grow big muskies in small lakes, just ask our DNR

Tell that to the 48" that got caught out of a 100 acre puddle 3 times in two weeks last year...still swimming and getting bigger...apparently she didn't do well in muskie school and kept growing after she hit 40...kids these days...haha!

This reminds me of the game where someone whispers something into someone else’s ear and then passes it on. By the end of the line the story hardly relates

So what you are saying is that this fish was not caught on ML, not a state record, and was caught a couple of months ago? Well that pretty much matches up with the original post
