Hey Guys,

I know we've beat this topic with a stick, but I am wondering where my time should be spent to catch the next world record? Take the poll...add any you might think are worthy. There are so many, I'm not sure where to start!

Donnie

Hi Donnie,

I'm curious to know where you think the next world record might come from. I know you spend a lot of time on Eagle and was wondering if you ever manage to fish any other of waters listed above. If I could spend one summer fishing just for the record my choice would be Saint Larry. There always seems to be some large fish in there. Like I said I'm just curious what your choice would be.

According to one of the top authorities on Muskies anywhere in the world, the next World record is more likely to come from the St. Lawrence.

Watch the Casselman video from the Muskie Symposium from last year.

After snorkeling and seeing the enormous forage the St. Lawrence has to offer... St. Lawrence all the way. Dr. Casselman is right on.

One of those places for sure, Ottawa River, St. Lawrence River, Georgian Bay, Green Bay, or Nipissing are my guesses and I am trying to fish them all at some point in my life

I think past records were of questionable validity. Therefore, I think it may be possible that with the accuracy required in the current day old records may NEVER be broken.

Hunter4,

I have seen what I feel to be one of the world records right on Eagle Lake, in the West Arm...but then again, I am sure alot of people have seen their share of HUGE fish over the years. I think we have eclipsed the 50 lb. mark a few times over the years on Eagle, and with everyone releasing the bigger fish, who knows! To answer your question, I think either a year spent on the Ottawa, St. Larry, Georgian Bay, or possibly Eagle would be the way to go!

Now, there are so many AWESOME bodies of water out there, I am not sure if there is one or two that can be singled out. Ottawa, Green Bay, St. Larry, etc. could put up the ol' WR at any time...as could LOTW, Georgian Bay, Nippissing, or even Erie.

Rick,

I agree....unless we throw out many of the old records, it will be impossible to tell what the next TRUW world record would or could be!

I put in my vote...LOL! Guess which one?-

Donnie

I voted for the St. Lawrence because it will come from there. Huge forage and lots of room to grow. They just grow huge out East. I would like it to come from Green Bay.

Green Bay, their is alot for the muskies to eat out their and lots of room. Don't rule out any of the Wisconsin river and any of the flowages of the Wisconsin river.

Why it wont come out of Lake of the Woods, Eagle, Wabigoon???? Because it would have happened by now with all the modern equipment, fishing talent. It will come out of Green Bay or Georgian Bay, both have tremendous forage bases and nobody know's the full potential!!


Herbie and Sandy might think different but o well!

I have her tied up in GB, she has been sucking down shad-milkshakes with white-fish whip-cream on top all winter long, now if I could only get the fat, lazy slob off her couch and into my boat............... wait, what are we talking about here?


I still find it funny with how many muskie fisherman there are out there today, the equipment, the knowledge, guides who fish everyday, just overall the drive to crack a record set way back when, and it hasn't been done. what gives?

Look at all the hype a 50lb fish creates........ Martin Williamson whacked a 60lber a few years ago yeah, but, you'd think you would see a lot more fish in these catergories instead of just one every 8-15 years. If there was to be a world record swimming somewhere. My guess is that its not coming from a popular musky lake that every Joe-schmo fishes. Its coming from a big water in an area that has yet to be fished, She has been waiting for someone to find her,
the sad thing is, she will die of old age before meeting her fate with a BLACK N SILVER bucktail.....
Green Bay yeah right

You Wisconnny boys are cracked that the World Record will again come out of Wisconsin... Canada or MN will have it.

I think Donnie hit it on the head. The next WR if caught, won't be from Lake X it will be from a major body of water and probably will be a Muskie previously released by someone.

Fish over fifty pounds come out of Georgian Bay a LOT more frequently than guys hear about on the internet, trust me on that. For every one that gets 'leaked' probably three are released. I think there's dozens of fisheries that have the potential. Nobody mentions the French above, but it got top marks at the Odyssey up here this month for Record potential. Navigation, size and access are three huges pluses for growing and maintaining huge fish in addition to the forage and the other stuff. Both sections of the river are book-ended by Nip and GBay, some have already mentioned them as possible candidates, and both sections are large, tough to learn and tough to fish. The ability to host fishing pressure is a double-edged sword: you need low(er) pressure to make big, dumb fish, BUT, you need lots of lines in the water for the Law of Averages and chances at them. Any of the water listed already could do it. I have no doubt it'll be caught on a worm harness or 1/4 ounce jig

I agree it will most likely come from one of the big lakes. It could be any one of them, but Georgian Bay does put out beasts on a regular basis. I hope the person that does manage to catch it catches it on a muskie lure and not a jig and minnow.

Watch the Casselman video, seriously. He stated Wabigoon has an upper confidence limit in the high 50's, Georgian Bay at a bit over 60#, LOTW and Eagle were, I think high 50's, Green Bay is too new but has potential, and the St Lawrence over 70#. Since he is regarded as one of the top Muskie minds on the planet, I'll listen to his ideas.

We will have to see what happens on Mille Lacs. New fishery reaching top end now through the next few years. So far, plenty of 50# plus fish, so another 12 pounds may not be impossible. Same with Bay of Green Bay and Lake Michigan.

"I think past records were of questionable validity. Therefore, I think it may be possible that with the accuracy required in the current day old records may NEVER be broken."

---I would subtitle "honesty" for "accuracy" here. I also agree it will never be broken will the current records in place, but the next low 60lber will come from Green Bay... 56X30". Whoever gets it SHOULD rightfully have the WI state record too.

.................................................................................................................

"The REAL question is will anyone BELIEVE it, even if it is verified by every agency witnessed by Jesus himself and weighed on 5 different certified scales..."

---Some people don't understand that the reason no one believes the current records is because they are so obviously bad.

To Whoever Wrote the Last Post,

Very good observation. I totally agree, as do many of the people who frequent this board! Am I remiss in remembering some time ago, they started another "record keeping" committee, to handle everything from the O'Brien fish forward? Or did I actually dream about that?

Any insight for this old guy would be great!!

Wow goes to show you that poles are useless. 1.41% of votes for a water body that puts out more 50+ pounders on a yearly bases and then a waterbody that's got one ever and receives 26.29% of the votes.

I guess it's more like wishfull thinking then common sense. Only a body of water that consistently puts out 50+ pounders can produce a 65 pound fish. And the list of those water bodies is very small.

There's just no way a fish can hide from 40lbs to 65+lbs. As well a fish will have to be released a few times over 50lbs to grow to 65 +.
