"He's going to be the Steve Bartman of the Muskie world!" Great line there and very true! The comments he'll recieve at the launch/lake should be good for the next year or two!

[mrklean]

ha cant we just leave Bartman alone

[Musky Buck]

Agreed Jerry, once I heard the 4th or 5th varying story I was done, we've heard 1 story about the large tiger shouldn't that be the way it is not embellished 6 hour release, that's when I was lost, if I were to do that I'd be able to draw disability on my back, I challenge anyone to hold a deceased 50 whatever incher over the side of your boat for 6 hours in likely 90 degreeish heat, then oh we watched it float by the dock for 6 hours etc. What does a mount like that run $ wise ?

[mrklean]

$10-$12 an inch?

[Esox_Magnum]

$10-$12 an inch?

+ $3-$4

[mrklean]

$13-$16 an inch? Man i think the last time i looked into mounting it was like only $10-$12, not a cheap mount at all

What? Are you serious or is it fact Brian? I already got the impression you don't like the kid but thats a serious allegation to say over the interenet... if its ,of course factual. Do you know this for sure or is it hear say?

Brian, if you are able to answer this as fact, what the heck is he doing with these fish, why do you say he will kill them all? Internet mudslinging being what it is, if even a portion of it is true, I'd like to know how/why and what is the motivation. You seem to know him quite well, please enlighten us.

[jsondag]

My guess is after all of the personal attacks and criticism he will endure over the internet and at accesses he probably won't keep another fish. SOme one from his camp has been calling looking for back-up on his story.

I got the call this morning. I told the guy to let it go - All he is going to do is add fuel to the fire. I hope by now everyone on that side of the fence realizes what a blunder they have done and try to fade away.

The unfortunate thing is that because of all this, the small fishable population is now on the radar and the access as of the last couple days shows proof of that.

[cbrooks]

I wish I could have been more careful on how I worded it. I'm not attacking Brian. Like Propster said its turn into interenet mudslinging. He's only 22. His full name is in the press. I don't know anything about him and I won't pass judgement on him because of what so and so said about him on this site.

On a positive Brian if all of that is fact, he kepts all his fish. Because of his new found fame he will have a tougher time breaking the law of kepting undersize fish. Keep in mind you hae no idea of who or how many people read these sites for your own good. Not hinting anything there. Just think about thats all

That is too bad. The funny thing is there are lots of lakes that have fish that size. Thanks too C&R , Muskie Inc. and DNR stocking. Trick is avoiding the crowds and finding the windows. Time on the water is the easy answer.

[BrianLucky13]

This guy told me he keeps the fish, legal or not, because there is no lakes in Arizona that have any fish worth eating.... I hope this has opened his eyes a little!!!!

[mrklean]

ha he eats muskie?

[cbrooks]

Let me get this straight. Some rich, spoiled kid from Arizona comes all the way to fish for muskies because there good to eat. There's walleyes, panfish, northern, trout ect but he likes trophy muskies. I think he's just trying to get a reaction out of you Brain.

[Shoot2Kill]

Are you kidding me?

I'm waiting for Puff The Magic Dragon to make an appearance in this story somehow....it keeps getting more bizarre by the day.

I can see it in the Star Trib now......"New twist to the story about the proposed new MN muskie record had the DNR been employed at the time"......fish did not take a boat ride.....here's how it happened...

...........and just like that Puff swooped down out of the clouds and carried the 57 to shore for John for the photo shoot but Puffs razor sharp dragon claws pierced the side of the fish rendering life threatening injuries, thus John was forced to take it to the taxidermist where he paid extra for the skin to be removed on site in order to grill up muskie fillets for all his AZ buddies back home where he told the tale of the 20 minute fight with the beast on his new Power Rangers fishing pole.......

hahaha, good grief, I either already need a beer or a full day on the water to clear my head! I'm losing my marbles.

[10,000 Casts]

Brian, how do you know this guy?

[HooknHorns]

Wow and I thought he might have been a normal 22 year old. I just hope the law catches him at the wrong time if this is all true.

That's what I thought too.. I thought he just wanted a pic. Like said above, this gets wierder the more you look into it.

[BrianLucky13]

Brian, how do you know this guy?

I see him on the water and at da bar a few times a summer. Always remember him because he was telling me about all the muskies he catches and keeps some of them!!!

This whole thing is just dumb and Im done talking about it....

So I’m confused Brian, in your 2 previous posts you said he kills them all, now you are saying “some” of them, and he actually eats them when there are lakes full of walleyes and crappies he could take home.

You’re stories and allegations are a bit sketchy and like the whole fish story itself, have as many holes in them as my net.

[BrianLucky13]

Whats the dif if its some, all, few, or a couple??? Its all a shame!!!

[john skarie]

The diff is that you're making accusations about someone poaching on the internet.

Killing all fish, legal or not was your first story, not it's some fish.

Maybe you don't even know him, or have ever talked to him. Kind of hard to tell what's true at this point.
