| I'm not even gonna guess at the length, but I'd say its over 50 pounds. That thing's just not normal! Congratulations to the lucky angler! |

| Ok, so what's with holding out the other images and the actual measurements? Suspense is cool, but come on, give us the truth.

| Wow that is a Huge FISH. The guy looks really familiar, if its the person i am thinking he is a great guy as i have had the pleasure of musky fishing with him several times over the years. He was in the boat and netted my uncle's first over 50 inch musky. Dont want to post the guys name in case he may not want his name on this post. But if its the guy i am thinking he is a great musky fisherman and also a great Walleye guy as well. Congrats to the angler and cant wait to hear the story.

"You can't handle the truth!!!" lol...
incredible fish. i can't decide if the massive girth makes it look longer than it really is, or if it's a big head (but not freakishly long) fat fat fatty.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | 'Story to follow, as soon as I can talk to the angler'
I have a few more details to track down, and should have it all confirmed by tomorrow. The fish measured 60" according to all reports to date, and was caught on Lac Seul. Details and confirmed measurements tomorrow.
I was scheduled to fish with the lucky angler today and tomorrow, actually, on an extended trip from the Wabigoon Lake-Dryden Ontario PWT Berkley Can Am Challenge with my friend, Jim Kalkofen while checking into possible sites for the 2009 Challenge. Since the PWT announced the closure of the circuit a week ago, that trip went out the window, and my planned day on the water to chase monsters like this and hear the story first hand was canceled!
By the way, the Canadian Team, Captained by John Butts of Dryden, Ontario, took home the Can Am Super Pro Challenge 2008 Trophy by 11.19 pounds..

| This fish is huge. It was a 54.5 inch fish and the guy is only 56.5 inches tall.
This fish is awesome .
Huge head and body. Too bad they didn't get the girth. |
