I asked AI what mythical clubs are there with a milestone catch in musky fishing. The results are
50" club
54" club
Double Nickel club
58"/60" club-noted both are exceedingly rare.

Also
The century club, 2 50s in one day
Grand slam/Double up- 2 in a day or a trip
50 on a fly

By weight
50 pound club
50/50 club
60/60 club.

What else is out there? Anything with a good ring to it?

Not an exclusive club by any means, but a milestone for many hunters of esocidae.
40 inch pike, 45 inch tiger, and 50 inch true.

^ I hit similar trifecta in a 4 day period this August , 45” tank pike, 47.25” natural hybrid and a 52” pure. IMO the 52” muskie was the least impressive of the three.

I'd rather catch a 45 inch pike than a 50 musky. 45 is rare air. Prepared for the boos on this piping hot take, but I stand by it.

I'd pretty much agree with this. I've caught several 50"+ muskies and netted several for others. I've never even been in the boat with a 45" pike.

Would love to get a decent tiger sometime. Have only caught a few and the biggest was about 32".

When I was 17, dad took me on a fly in trip where I got a pike they weighed at 22.5 pounds. Any idea what the length would be, can't really tell from the few pics I have.

BTW - your list apparently missed my club: the week-long-skunk boys! m
