Very old fiberglass hoax that's been around for a long time...I have had this same post card for a very long time. But wait, maybe, just maybe, since it is from Rice Lake, it was actually caught by Louie Spray during the time he lived in Rice Lake...Nah!

Tail fin is way too small. Imagine that thing following your bait to the boat though! Bring extra shorts!

Seems legit to me. Probably a basin fish and without trolling we really will never know what is out there! Congrats to the lucky angler. (insert sarcasm)

Imagine the bite marks on any male musky that decides to spawn with her. Naw, go ahead pike, she's all yours!

That's what happens when you pose walleye style with an actual big fish. If a 3lb walleye can look 40lbs, then a 200lb European cat can look like a small whale.

I'll ask a swimmer if they saw that big snapping turtle. This would be great to say "did you see that 9' muskie!!"

I don't know... I've talked to a lot of people who have seen a musky that was at least 6 feet long.

I know a a bass guy who has landed a 50 and a 51. He wasn't too excited, just incidental catches to him. Apparently he doesn't realize that these catches make his opinions legit...

That's funny, I had two bass guys describe a 50" musky that ate their spinnerbait. They were more upset that they lost their favorite bait to a fish they were going to eat, than the massive fish they lost. They told my wife and I that we need to keep all the muskies because they are eating all the bass, and ruining "their" lake.

Bass guys in Illinois routinely catch muskies well into the 50" category and bigger. Hear it all the time.

Sssssh, ToddM - stop harassing us former bass guy's - we converted to protect our bass by luring all the muskie hot bite tracker's to our lakes so we can get rid of those toothy pests that are eating all of our bass. Walleye & perch guys are using similar tactics too.....I think Sled is the original inventor of this strategy.

Yeah, I've also seen 3 fish that would make that one look small. Thay are in Lake xxx, Lake @#$%, and Lake6654... they scared me too!

Have fun!
