Call it a case of incredible timing, good luck and amazing fishing because Knutson recently had one of the best days on the water in the history of Minnesota fishing.

Hope we can post things like this on here - being a newbie I saw this and had to share.

That's absolutely insane! Congrats to Muskie Ben. Nice coverage as well, as the newscaster sounded like a fisherman in the way he said, "yes, he did release both of the fish and will have a replica made of the biggest one." But while the expense is significant, I'd have to get both of the those big girls done.

The Star Tribune article stated he has been muskie fishing very hard for 8 years, and the first giant one of that day, the 56.5", was his first over 50". I don't buy the 55" in the new 50" mentality. 50" is big and rare!

It seems like the biggest fish stories of the year always occur the first half of November and they almost always come from Mille Lacs.

I hadn't heard of any recent tales so it was great to hear about these two giants right before Thanksgiving. Incredible.
