| Is the guy on the left Michael Douglas? Maybe this should be on the celebrity guide thread. |

| That monster is from the Ottawa River, and the guy on the left is guide Mike Lazarus and the guy on the right is Ed Barbosa (Muskie! page 50). She measured 58" x 28.5" and estimated around 60 pounds!

Location: New Baden IL | Ed Barbosa is a big fish magnet. We were out with Jody Mills on the Georgian Bay trip and Ed was at the boatdock when we launched.
Jody told us Ed was the one who steered him in the HUGE muskie direction.
That guy has been on the lake or in the boat when some of the biggest muskies in recent history have been caught.
Jody told us he was there the day Ken O'Brien caught the Canadian record, and I think Ed has the Canadian hybrid record too.
I'm pretty sure he told us he was in the boat wiht Gary Ishi when he caught his 60 pounder, and then this fish in this thread!
Imagine what he's seen.
I've heard he's ghostlike on the water. Very secretive and super hush-hush about how, when and where.
If I was in on Hawgs like that, I'd be quiet too.

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | The picture tells the story of that fish.
Ed is always fishing prime waters at prime times. He knows who to hire and where to go.
Mike is hands down one of the best muskie fishermen/guide in the world. He is a trophy fishermen who is not afraid of breaking new waters. Anyone that has the romote chance should fish with him.
He does not like the spotlight, he just goes about his buisness catching some of the largest muskies in the world consistantly.
You my hero pal...................
