An outsized "freak" of an alligator gar was recently caught. No reason, as was recently discussed, that it couldn't happen with a muskie too!:

You're a little late to the game.

that one's not a "freak" fish, Larry.

in fact, not even as large as some other specimens that were caught bowfishing, including the record which is 40lbs heavier...

Martin Williamson's fish was not a "freak" fish either.

Tom Gelb's fish was also caught in late November and also carried a very small egg mass (about 2 lbs. according to Rick Lax) representing only 3.912% of it's weight of 51.125 lbs.

Apparently this fish was also absorbing it's own egg mass but was barely able to break the 50 lb. mark!
