just watched it. Its your typical "not prepared to land a fish that big" and it ends up on the carpeted boat floor video. Not that cool.

Nothing cool about watching a fish thrash around on the carpet with no hurry whatsoever to get it back in the water

Fish was taken to local bait shop and who knows who measured it. A very experienced musky angler went there later and he measured it at more like 51 1/2. Nobody has ever seen or heard of anything longer then 53 in our area of the country. Water gets too warm for too long to get long fish but they do get "shoulders" on them. If that fish was a true 54 7/8 it would be in the 50+ lb range. Not a male either.
