Dennis was doing a show with John G. from Wisconis Waters and Woods Tuesday and caught and released a very nice 53 x 22.
Look for the show to air Fathers Day.

Congrats to Dennis. Very nice fish from what I was told.

Maybe she will show up in the IMTT.

Just thought I would let people know before the tourny. Details to follow.

Very nice fish indeed. I will try to post a pic for you all. I talked to him last night, and he was still shaking. LOL Awesome to get it on film!

Well, the pics he sent me are too big, and I can't monkey with them at work. There are pics on Lake Link though.

Congrats to Dennis...knowing him, the 53 was on the light side. Great angler and a really decent guy.....No, this wasn't it...I was 40" short.

I could probably guess where it was caught. We were out there two weeks ago, and so an absolute monster follow up a bucktail and then look at the sucker.

Just think how big it coulda been if it didn't have inferior genetics.

here's the info from lake-link.

MAN OH MAN!!!!
After getting some nice walleyes with Gillespie on LaBelle this AM we came over to Okauchee to try for a musky. I lost a nice mid 40" fish, and at 4:00 PM CPR'd my personal best!!!

Since we were fishing out of John's boat I brought all my musky gear and forgot my measuring stick!!! Once we got this fish in the net I used my power pro line to measure from the tip of the nose to the tail of the fish...we went over to another musky boat after releasing the fish to measure the line and it came out to be 56"!!!! We rounded it down to 53" as we figured there was some error but after looking at the pictures we agreed 53" was being conservative. The pics were snapped pretty quick to get the fish back in the water....the tail is cut off in all pics...it was a very exciting and unforgettable fish. It will air on Saturday June 18th @ 10 AM on Fox Sports Net, and again on Sunday June 19th on Channel 18!!!

This fish is a celebration for all of us who practice CPR...I thank all of you who have tangled with her over her life, and hope someone else get's to enjoy the experience I had today...she's still out there!!!!

BTW...we were working deep water structure adjacent to open water...good luck to all!!!

Hey All,

Thanks for the kind words....it was an incredible experience...I don't want to give the show away but I'll tell ya this...I can usually keep it together in the boat but on this one I think John met his match!!!!! LOL

Mark!!! Thanks for the Kahuna!!!! It has brought the boat some great luck this season on and off the water...I'll talk to you soon.

The more I think about it I wonder how many people CPR'd that fish in thier life??? What a testimony for CPR!!! Thanks to all of you...she's still swimmin'

Good luck to all,

Still Shakin'

Dennis great fish!, well done. Okauchee has been good to me so far this year with 4 fish, but nothing near the size of yours! Fished Pewaukee on Tuesday, two lazy follows.
