Well, I guess it's time to let out the news of a fish that may have made history... On November 25th we were out on the pond trolling in my boat when the clicker went off on my partners rod (Dominic Hoyos) with a large custom bait (I had it painted by Tyler Wolf in Wisconsin) at 12:35pm and what we were able to put in the bag was absolutely unbelievable. She measured a touch over 55" with a pinched tail and had a legitimate 30" girth. Weight calculators put her at almost 62lbs on one formula and high fifties on the other... Either way a World Record contender for sure. She was successfully released and I will also try to get the release clip up soon... Dean Block

Here is the link of the release I just published on Youtube.

No, it all happened so fast and it never really sunk in until we were back on shore at Jason Hamernick's place and the hand shakes and hugs started... But, if we had to do it all over again Dominic and I would still release that fish.

When Dean messaged me about this fish the other day, I was totally skeptical, thinking it was either a joke or an inflated girth measurement which is rampant this time of year. Then I pleaded for a pic. I was totally floored by it. I wish I had never seen it. I couldn't sleep for 2 days so I can only imagine how they were feeling. Amazing catch, that restores faith that 60 pounders aren't unicorns and are attainable. Thanks for sharing with me so early on and trusting me not to share it prematurely. AWESOME CATCH!!!! Truly jealous!

I have a much respect for the fisherman, as the fish.

The handling and quick release of this beast speaks volumes for the character of this fisherman.

My hat's off to you in respect, sir.

Congratulations.
