Location: NE Wisconsin | What pic most impressed you when first seeing it?
Here is a pic taken off a video of a supposed 63" muskies from a few years ago. The size of the muskie's head compared to the man's hand is unreal!

Location: minocqua, wi. | quite a few years back there was a photo of a fish with a guy's hand on top of it as a frame of reference ...
then there was a guy who was in camp with us at AML who posted a release picture of a fish going away in an "s" shape ...
wish i could just recall them, but i bet a few people remember the photos based on my description ... then there was the Michigan fish with the two guys holding it. that one proves you can't hide big.
and Tom Gelb of course ...

I've seen a better video of this fish where the slow motion shots are more revealing, and it appears to be rather large. |

Location: MN | The vertical hold with Herbie and his client at Eagle. Herbie is a little guy but the guy with him is much bigger and the fish still looks enormous in that photo. |

| All the fish mentioned are super impressive. This fish is the one that got me into musky fishing. I seen it in a magazine and instantly was mesmerized with the idea of catching one.

| Sled...is this the "S" release? That was my solo day on the water and fortunately had my camera on a tri-pod and was able to get a hold shot as well.
It's been too long and honestly need to get back up to camp. My one bud who did "some" muskie fishing no longer does, so my time on the water has been MUCH less that I'd like. Hope 2016 brings a change....hardly threw a bait last year...OUCH!!

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | My first impression after seeing the pictures was "No wonder it was so hard to hold for a picture". Pic don't do the fish justice. Was wide a a railroad tie 3/4 of the way to the tail. 50lb class fish.
My personal best end of Oct, Full moon, out East giant. 57" x 27".
Pic too large....

I remember seeing this pic along another of the same fish. I don't believe he ever said how big it was. But, he didn't have have to, it was HUGE!
Here are a few more pics I have saved.

He did mention it on a local site at the time 56 x 26, not that any one worries about that stuff...
