Location: Apparently where the Muskie aren't | I've noticed a lot of people have been getting ripped off when buying there rulers. Can't believe people are selling rulers that are missing the first 10 inches |

Location: oswego, il | I thought you held a bass by holding the lower jaw horizontally letting the weight of the bass torque the #*#* out the hinge in the jaw. Thats the macho pose i see the pros use on tv. |

40 pounds is so light for a 60.75"x28.25" fish.
Why would Musky Hunter even publish something like this? |

60" or 50" it's a great fish...even if it peees us muskie guys to see a lowly bass angler catch it!  |

Probably the most frustrating part to people is the publicity it's getting when it's clearly poorly measured in some way or another. It's a 40#'er for sure, but its not 60x28
One hell of a catch for a bass fisherman for sure, and he's got a story for the rest of his life

| These dudes were out to catch some 20" bass, it's not that hard to understand how there might be some inaccuracies when they tie into a fish over 50". Cool fish, I'm looking forward to making a trip out to the Bay one of these years. I'm going to need a bigger boat ?? |

Definitely the right place to do it, tons of big girls coming out of there!
