| |||
| Here we go again...Another new Illinois musky record caught by a non-musky fisherman! It was 50 x 26 and weighed 38 pounds even on a certified scale. It was caught on a jig and a twister. It was caught below the dam at Lake Shelbyville. As Spence Petros loves to say, "There ain't no justice"!!! Musky regards, Larry Ramsell www.larryramsell.com | |||

| Would like to see a picture, someone's gotta have some pic's!!!!!!![:p] | |||

| Sounds like our state record...the story behind that one was hilarious![:sun:] | |||
| |||
| 2 in a row by NON-Musky fishermen. [:(] [:((] [:blackeye:] . There is no justice, and to be totally honest I am going to hate hearing the story about how it was fighting like crazy and it broke his net, when I have trouble sometimes with Musky gear and Musky nets. No justice. -Phil Cali | |||

| Time to break out the chicken livers! | |||

| ToddM, I think you nailed it on the head! I just thought of a great system to catch state records. I am going to start trolling Ball Park Hot Dogs with through wire constuction. That way the Musky will think it's some shore fisherman with a zebco $20 combo and definately eat it. I was thinking I could even cut out a little fish pattern on the hot dog and spray it with some Old Spice or something to throw them off even more. I think that would be more amazing than finding a cambell's soup can in a walleye's stomach, we'll let Mr. Worrall & Jason decide on that though. Just some pissed off humor![:devil:] -Phil Cali | |||

| Update: Official Biologist measurement: 50.75" with the tail pinched (official way biologists measure all fish). Official weight: 38 pounds 8 ounces. Muskie regards, Larry Ramsell www.larryramsell.com | |||

| I was at that exact spot last week on two occasions...witnessed 5 muskies caught on KMart equipment...there I was with 2 G.Loomis Muskie Rods, Calcutta 400s, Lakewood Tacklebox full of $15 a piece lures...all I had to show for it was a 35" Muskie that hit a spring bull dawg...Life just isn't fair. | |||

| WHOA FELLA'S! He IS a musky fisherman...or so he claims. Read the article below. He says' he had just bought 100 bucks worth of musky lures and was just fishing walleye's that day. http://www.pjstar.com/sports/lampe/g92409a.html The ironic thing with this fish is that the brother of the guy who holds/held the current LAKE record claims he had this spillway fish on a little over two weeks ago. He told me the story on the 13th. These two brothers and the son of one are some musky-fishin'-son-of-guns!!!! I'm proud to have them in our club.[:bigsmile:] Jay - Lake Shelbyville Musky Club | |||

| fantastic, i love those stories... just goes to show you dont need 200.00 combos and 20.00 baits to catch em! | |||

| ^%$^%$#@&%#$&^(*)(^^#&!@#$%^&* !!!!. WITHOUT A NET!!!! Ahhhhhhh! Makes me want to cry, a 40 something inch fish is a challenge to get into my Beckman, let alone a 50"X26" fish on walleye gear and no net. The part about buying musky lures..lol I dunno that's nice it's just the idea of landing a fish that big on that gear in that situation. -Phil Cali | |||

| Well what can you say being lucky also helps, Nice to see the fishery is producing fish like that. Brad www.breuerguideservice.com | |||
