| for those who haven't heard- a 50lb+ muskie was caught and released (with a great photo) out of Mille Lacs last week- dimensions were reported to be 51 X 29 - formulas put it near the MN state record (which is 54lbs I believe) maybe this is the year of record muskies! we can always hope, right?
tight lines everyone!

Boy I'm glad I wasn't dangling my toes in the water around that fish. It must have been eating everything in sight! |

Location: Alexandria, MN | Mille Lacs has some of the FATTEST fish you will find, if you get one with some length you have a
record class fish. Great picture, I like the way you blocked out the background to save the spot  LOL
That is a great fish and wonderful that it was released.
Good Job!

| They didn't block the background. It was a night time guide trip.

| There are no muskies in MN. In fact, you would be better off fishing elsewhere. I believe this photo to be fake in order to attract attention to MN, when in fact it was caught in WI. |

Location: Wausau | I am going to have to switch from the 12 oz beer can to the king can size when I go fish MN to build up the arms to lift a beast like that out of the water. Nice job to the fisherman and the guide for a great catch and a better release. |

| WOW.... I am speachless, I wonder if the knees have stopped knocking?
Ought to call that fish Tommyboy, I think that fish has what you would call a little bit of a weight problem. |

| The only thing I can say is that I would have been a bit more excited. I mean, he looks about as excited as a guy who just got kicked in the nuts! Come on, that is absolutely a fish of a lifetime, you better celebrate or let someone who deserves it catch it like me!
Truly an amazing fish though. Begin dark it likely helped the fight. I know if I had a fish on of that size and was able to see it I would be filling my drawers in short order. |

Location: mpls | I just came back from Mille Lacs today. If I knew that they caught my fish,I would've stayed home. All I got was a 25" Walleye,a follow, and some pike. That wouldn't even be dinner for that thing!! Great fish! |

Location: oswego, il | I heard they were using a 40" 20lb sucker as bait. Is this true? That fish is one spring time booty call for them there male muskies. |

| I bet that's why he looks that way! He loaded those drawers!
Even Big Fish Hammernick looks a bit out of it.
