| This muskie is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late muskie. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't held it up for a picture, it would be pushing up the daisies. It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-muskie. |

| I would certainly hope someone didn't lie or photoshop to get a rise or attention. These days it's so hard to believe anything posted on the Internet. I would hope or wish it was true but I'm having a hard time believing. Either way if not photoshopped or someone exaggerated the length it's still a big fish! I would like to hear more about this entire story. 73" is beyond crazy....that Tarpon length... |

| Talked to a co-worker yesterday that has a place on Mille Lacs. He mentioned that he heard of a big fish that washed up on the north end that was roughly measured by stepping off a little over 6 shoe lengths (mentioned roughly 65"). I've been around a few really big fish in my day - the fish in that photo was a VERY special creature. If any of us had that thing (alive)slide up behind your bait at boat side - we'd be a stuttering shaking mess for a couple of minutes. |

Location: Duluth, MN | OK so what did they do with the fish? Did they call the DNR so this can be looked at? Is it sitting in someones freezer? We need a full story:} |

| Can someone please explain how they see this picture? Maybe Im wrong but the man's leg that his elbow is leaning on. How come you can't see the rest of it under the gill plate? I can't get over that fact. Maybe he is an amputee and if thats the case I'm sorry |

Location: Chippewa Falls, WI | agree with the other skeptics...he appears to be missing his lower right leg and how do you grab a gill plate with your right hand that way without torqueing the heck out of your wrist? I hate to be one of the guys questioning something that I have no knowledge or first hand experience with but in this day and age who can blame us! I'm betting staged pic of a big fish making it appear epic... |

| The guy appears to have taken the photo on a slight hill or stairs down to the dock. Fish is on the uphill side and his left leg is on the bottom of the hill. This isn't rocket science or camera trickery - it's spatial separation. |

Location: St. Lawrence River | I wonder how that guy cooked it up? Wrap some in aluminum foil with some butter, pepper, little lemon, throw it on the grill. A little poor mans lobster. MMMMMM MM. |

| it's photo-shopped (poorly). There are 3 layers to that pic if you open in it in a photo-editing program. Still a big fish though |

| There was a 57 caught on the north end about a week prior and released. Reports are that it actually measured 57...likely the same fish. |

| I'm sure these folks meant well but...no net, hand land, played out, warm temps and all of the measuring and unhooking out of the water. Not a situation for a good outcome.

Long skinny fish in both pics. To be clear the dead fish was measured (supposedly) at 57 inches as well.
