61" Muskie caught on Mille Lacs?

[urban cowboy]

Dude,,, where are the pics.

This is weak to say the least.

[Cold Front Pooch]

That St Lawrence fish was a pig, but that was released if I remember correctly thus didn't qualify for a record... (I guess theres a few of these and some controversies about them)... the information on this fish I got a month ago was that the story would be broke by Muskie Hunter and there was essentially a gag order put on, which I guess they do in these types of things for magazines, Just what Im told haha

[JRedig]

Found a pic....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[urban cowboy]

Words out..show the pics.

Here she is, caught on a bulldawg on a bright sunny day:

Seriously though, everyone take a deep breath. I don't think the pic in question that Redig is talking about is the one, Cjac - quit spreading those rumors

UC, chill bro - what's it going to matter?

Lakes over 400 acres need not apply...

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

The same DNR that just earlier this year had a pic of a 50.5" they netted out of a little 50 acre lake up on their HSOforum.

hey Jeff. that small lake wouldn't be the one that's kind of near a river is it? Partridge family ring a bell? and she wouldn't have a bigger sister would she? if it is i can tell you where those muskie came from. from the nearby river from the old man that passed about 10 years ago. he'd stick them in there after catching them in the river. those underwater stump fields are the bomb. i had a lot of fun there when i was younger. if it's not the same lake then.... the one i'm talking about is, Lake Nevrmind. one of the few places i know where 5 lb bass are a given on any trip and a 7 lb. is easy if you go enough. bid nords in there too. crappie are good some years. anyway...

The story is up on MHM. go look at that PIG!!!!!! WOW!!!!

[urban cowboy]

Where.. I looked all over the site...

[urban cowboy]

Ya... I see. Its on the message board.

[JimBuck]

She's thick as heck. Nevertheless, what a sloppy hawg.

[mskyfshntchr]

It's a truly big fish. 61"? Only two people know for sure- actually according to the story- only his buddy knows.

Anyways...in looking at the picture- you can't even see the tail!!!

Oh well...big girl who I would love to put to net someday...If it was on the 'tou, I'll go for her next summer....

[urban cowboy]

'''''''''''Two weeks earlier, King and Meyers had left their measure stick at a cabin, so for this trip Meyers fashioned one from a two-piece net handle. “The larger section was marked out to exactly 55 inches, and snapped together the ruler went to 70 inches''''''''''''''''

Not trying to be a hater but, w+f.

[50inchpig]

wow, i gotta change my name to 60inchpig, heluva fish F&F

[setterguy]

I think a couple of the last posts here demonstrate exactly why people are starting to keep these big fish quiet. Everyone has an opinion on how big the fish really was, if it was measured correctly, how it was handled yada, yada, yada.

I say congratulations on an awesome fish. Thank you for sharing the pictures, now I have to go get the boat ready for my own chase.

[10,000 Casts]

I thought the same thing.. Somehow putting a net that is maked off and then a measuring stick? I want to see that thing on a certified bunk board. Part of the anomosity is because MH decided to keep it a secret... And then post it on their message board?!? come on, that fish deserves the cover and a highlited article if they are going to keep it a secret.

None the less, that fish is a true Monster! Congrats on the nice fish!!!

[JesseParker1]

That is a ridiculous fish!!!

[RuKiddingMe]

WOW, that thing is an absolute beast, F&F never mind the internet critics and their questioning your measurements, that is a truly magnificent fish.

thanks for the story and releasing the pig.

[10,000 Casts]

One thing I will say, thanks for being a true Muskie fisherman and not some walleye fisherman that happens to hook into a fish like that! It's nice to know that you targeted the fish, had a great fight, a nice picture and a good release!!! Way to go!

[DHanson]

Congrats on a fish of lifetime F&F. That has some good girth to boot! Way to go and thanks for the release.

[JRedig]

F&F, congrats on the fish, time to go to disneyland?

Dang, it looks huge...got any more pics?

[RumRiverRat]

That is a beast.

Too bad a horrible company like Musky Hunter that apparently has some pretty rude fishermen representing them are the ones that got the exclusive story.
