| No chance at 60". I heard 56" which I will still never believe unless I see it on a bump board.

Location: Bloomington, MN | Wonderful Crow Rock "area" fish! 53.5"ish???????? Very few legit 56" L.O.T.W. muskies. If it is a 56", then Joe deserves it. |

| I doubt Joe is not calling a 53.5" muskie a fish of a lifetime and a GOLIATH , there was an article probably 10 years ago talking about a trip out east where he didn't get a replica of a 55.5" he caught because he had lost one same trip that was considerably larger.. looking at the head on this fish in question, 56" sounds reasonable to me. It a big fish - Congrats on a LOTW legal. |

Close to Crow Rock Narrows would be my guess If that is true, I want to convince my buddies to move back our annual LOW trip to after the Musky opener. We fishing within a long cast of there... Have seen muskies on multiple occasions. Had a mid 40's attack a 16" walleye as I reeled it in last year too. |

| Joe has caught MANY big fish over the years-- If he says GOLIATH-- makes me think it is special---- Pic doesn't look like it could be a 60------------ But maybe a 56-57" might make him use the word GOLIATH.... Looking forward to the episode and real stats on this Fish--and YES-- JOE deserves it--- One of the early and best Pioneers on the sport---Teaching CPR from as far back as the early 80's that I remember---- And also 1 of the first to make lures Just for the Musky Anglers !! |

| I would like to see a normal straight on picture, not the head first and cannot really see the whole fish pictures the way he likes to take them.

| it's a big fish, but there's a reason Joe never measures his fish. Now he can hype his show up all season and still not tell anyone what the length was. Seems pretty silly to me, but I don't watch his show so could care less. He did this last year with a fish too, if you recall. Kept talking it up, named it, told several stories about how it put him on his butt, and still never told anyone how big it actually was. |

| Seems a lot of folks hold them out a bit. Anything to make it look "that big". Par for the course it seems. However I would sure like to catch one that big however big it is.  |

Bucher is a fantastic ambassador for the sport, no question about it. Having said that all the TV personalities measure their fish. The Musky Hunter show and Joe's just do a great job of editing it to make it look like a seamless transition form out of the net to a couple of quick photos and then right back in the water. They simply do NOT show the measuring part. |
