I can't help but notice all the really recent pig's seem to be spotted. However, all the photo's of past WR's seem to be barred or silver. -- Sooooooooo,   what's the next WR, spotted or barred"?????

Personnally,  I have seen two barred fish in this class. But, I've also seen some real spotted pigs.

I think the next record or record class fish will all come from georgian bay, st lawrance, mill lacs or green bay. Those are all spotted fish.

Georgian Bay and Green Bay fish are not all spotted.  In a couple of the huge fish either poached or netted in fyke surveys in Green Bay that were very large were barred fish.  That said, I think the spotted ones in either water outnumber the barred, but are they the biggest ones?

Spots are alright ,but nothing looks quite as cool as a nice fat heavy barred muskie.

Spotted muskies think they can fly. I love catching them. I have seen two fish I think were world record class, both spotted. Of course, that was a symptom of the water I fish, as  most of the fish in that wayer are Great Lakes strain.
