Location: Sawyer County, WI | 65" perhaps, providing the angler is taller than 7'.

Location: Green Bay, WI | I think it was reported as 55" if I'm not mistaken. If it's the fish I'm thinking of, I think his wife caught it a couple months ago, and it was 55". I haven't heard of anything over 55" being caught out here lately--although I certainly don't hear of each and every fish that's caught. |

Location: Minnesota | Nice fish no doubt . 65 " that's another story a fish story. |

Location: Green Bay, WI | Yeah, looking at the picture again, I'm not even sure that it's the fish I heard about caught by the guy's wife. That picture of the fish doesn't make it look that much like a 55" musky. |

Location: Wisconsin | sorry, but that is not anywhere near a 60+ inch fish.... and theres no way you could hold a 65 inch, 50+ #er so easily. |

| Wisco - I was just going to say that same thing. I consider myself a pretty strong dude, and I struggle to hold up 50" fish that may be 40 lbs at best. No way that guy can hold a 50+ lbs fish that easily!!! |

Location: Wisconsin | I didn't know there was a formula for Green Bay fish. Ok. So...I am bad at math.
R + (R X .25) = PR
R = Real measurement
PR = Picture measurement

Wouldn't be such a big deal, but...SIXTY FIVE and that image? That will get the BS-Ometer howling every time. |

not to be rude, but "hitting the gym" has nothing to do with it. This fish is clearly struggling to hit the 40# mark. A 40 pound fish is heavy to hold up, let alone a 50+ pounder!... I just can not imagine this guy being able to hold a 65 inch, 50+#er with such ease... |

Location: Grand Marais, MN | haha. in all seriousness, i stopped taking any measurements or size on any fish. non fishermen dont care, fishermen chastise any measurement regardless, so it doesnt make any difference what it was. started appreciating the chase more because of it, being preoccupied on the hunt and not about getting internet cred. |

Made me smile because I'm close to that too.
A few years back on the last hour of our vacation, the cabin was cleaned and my bride was signing out of the resort, I decided to make one last pass around some islands.
2nd cast, a large fish that I thought "Man, she's nice!!" and nearly just let go. Thought might as well take out the already stowed measuring stick.....50+"!!! Wow...and she was only the 2nd "50" I'd ever gotten.
Guess I was feeling a bit "ho-hum" but glad I did get a measure. I didn't believe it at first. So, I know what you mean.
