| I guess I should rephrase my question a bit. I've done well on numbers the past few falls. I've started to get into some nice size, but to be honest, I've likely hit the peak size for the water I fish regularly. So I'm starting to get an itch to try for something bigger. ie 50# class fish. I've gotten to a point where I'm willing to give up the numbers to focus on a true trophy class specimen. The journey and chase of such a fish is what really interests me more than anything else. The chase is why I love this sport. So for me, this is just something new to chase with different rules, harsher odds, but bigger rewards. I appreciate all the concern for my catch rate though.  My sanity really appreciates it. Edited by Brad P 12/15/2016 2:05 PM | |||

I'm not discounting Rich Clark's clients magnificent fish either but I would still like to see pictures of a genuine 60” on a bump board someday. Maybe I'm just being overly cynical, but after getting slapped around with the record BS and seeing some obvious fakes get paraded around online and in the press… that's just my mindset anymore. One thing when you're talking about a genuine 60” is that a lot depends on who is measuring, and how it's been measured. In my view other than a bona fide muskie fisherman using a bump board, you can almost always discount the length claim to some degree on released fish because they're just not equipped to measure them accurately. Although I don't think this fish was 60”, I've always found this picture to be intriguing... the extended cab pickup truck look.
