Posts: 229 | How come the photo says 4/20/2008 on the photo and the guys are dressed like it is April with long sleeves and coats... Is there an error on the reported date this was caught? John | ||

I was wondering the same thing, but just figured the date on the camera was set wrong. I also think the date on the camera is set wrong because it doesn't look like it it 1:30 in the afternoon becasue of the how the shadows are cast. Edited by bllhogg 8/5/2010 8:50 AM | |||

Posts: 32890 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The report came to us from Joe, the owner at Spring Bay resort. The guests are in camp now, and a guest in camp also caught a 53. The fish was caught early morning yesterday according to the email we received. Look at the trees, full canopy...on 4/20 that would not be the case. | ||

Posts: 32890 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | --From another thread------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crusher23 It was my boat that we were in and yes, I'm an idiot when it comes to digital cameras. I have since corrected the time and date so any further images will reflect the correct time and date. I personally never look at that stuff so I didn't figure it was as important as it looks like it was to a couple posters. Anyway, that fish was a horse. We saw many fish sunning themselves on reefs and weedbeds during our stay at Spring Bay and none of them came close to this in size. It was Ryan's first ever musky, so I guess he is ruined for life now. Also it had a girth of 29" Truly incredible. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||

Posts: 32890 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Crusher23 asked why the thread was locked, and we decided to open it back up to REASONABLE discussion now that the anglers who boated this pig have checked in. Nice fish, gents, and one heck of a first muskie! The challenges by the anon Muskie Cops were about the girth, care to expound on the method of measurement? | ||

Posts: 221 Location: Detroint Lakes, MN | It appears the method of measurement was to lay the fish on the bottom of the boat. JS | ||

Posts: 229 | Crusher23: Was the girth measured or is 29" just an estimate? If so how did you measure it? John | ||

Location: Contrarian Island | it is reasonable for most guys who have caught or been in the boat with fish with girths in the 22-25 range to easily question the claim of a 29" girth on this fish.. The picture of it laying on part of a cradle says it all. Also, by the formula this fish would be the new MN state record at almost 58 lbs! does anyone really think this fish even cracked 45 lbs much less 50? c'mon. get real. Guys that have had fish around 54 lbs might have something to say...Jonesi, Hammernick etc.... I don't doubt it was 55" inches but I will doubt it truly was 29" a round...there are many pics of many fish both laying on a bump board like the picture above or being held of fish caught by me and many others with fish that girthed in the 22-24 range that would easily show this fish most likely was measured innacurately or by some method that may have been faulty. Not a knock on the fish, or any type of jealousy..far from it...just calling it like it is...not a 29" girthed fish...(more like 22-23) awesome fish but I just don't see from this pic, how anyone could get 29" from that??? imho this would be like someone putting up a pic of a 40"er and calling it 50"...you'd see it a mile away...just like this one. where's that girth thread again... ; ) ok guests blast me all you want now.

Posts: 829 Location: Maple Grove, MN | Where is the pic of the fish laying on the bottom of the boat? I'm not seeing it here on my browser. Looks like one of the fish I saw last week. And my wife insisted on going last week and not this week which is when I wanted to go. Vermillion may be on fire and maybe not. It might have just been a couple hours of high activity level. And then the fish may have just turned on for a few days. Time will tell. Its been cool up there lately so the clothes look about right to me. 50s in the morning and 70s in the afternoon. I'd say more like 24-25 inch girth too. Awesome fish though. | ||

Posts: 32890 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Did you look at the image carefully? The fish is laying on what looks to be a wetted cradle of some sort, you can see it on top of the carpet, and a mat of some sort. Can you confrim that and describe what the fish is lying on, Crusher23? | ||
