| Good lord. what a pig.
nothing against the guys for keeping it, but when will these people learn to take a camera in the boat and photo the fish when it is alive?
even if you're keeping the fish, it just makes for a better picture |

| Dimensions ?????? I'd guess just for fun --56x25 Great fish -- 1-2 pounds smaller than Gene Buroki's 57 pounder Photo'ed on my family's dock. That was in 1984, At one time it was #9 on one of the big fish list. Maybe this fish is a top 10 all time ? Love to hear the whole story of the catch. ManitouDan |

i was just about to say the same thing...but.
considering all the appearances of blood under the skin, the bloody fins and tail.....i'd be hard pressed not to say this fish is doomed anyway, im sure some of you would agree.
if it were one of us guys fishing for it...it would have shook the bait 20 feet from the boat and just be another big fish story..
but since someone caught it on 8 lb test....it's just another big dead fish story.
shame, but, as has been said b4...it's an anglers right by law to keep it.
beauty of a fish.....funny, cuz i didn't hear the BONK anytime recently...apparently they knew this wasn't a WR or we would have been hearing the "kill the WR --BONK--" as so many have been quoted saying recently.
from here to kentucky......

| So when you get one big enough to put in the back of the pickup do you have to drive around town for three days with the tailgate down like you do with a monster buck????????
That fish redefines the word PIG for me. |

| I'm just getting back from fishing Hayward and noticed this thread and giant fish, WOW my biggest was 34". I also went to the Hayward muskyfest while I was there and the locals were going wild over John Dettloff and another guy on a float dressed in Louie garb with that fake record. It was a complete joke and almost sickened me really, I couldn't help but wonder what they would have done if they had real giants like this one? Cripes, how anyone can say Spray's record is even close is just amazing and stupid.  |
