| Hey Jake,
I want to congratulate you on your monster fish of a lifetime. The photos taken truly show the the size of your fish, the care taken to ensure the safe release of that monster says alot about you as a young muskyhunter. I dont know if you remember me, my son Mark Jassak played baseball with your older brother Dakota on the Royals in Lake Zurich. This is going back a few years. The Royals took the championship that year. You came to our house in Echo Lake for the party at the Lake's clubhouse.
I remember you had a passion for fishing at a young age, we fished together on the pier at Echo Lake during the party. You and your mom came to our house after the party and I showed you picteres of muskies I have caught. Several days later your mother contacted me and explained how facinated you were with muskies. I told her at that time my wife was having a garage sale the following week and you should stop by. You and your mom and dad came by and I gave you my first muskie rod and reel combo which was a berkley series one with a ambassadeur 5000 reel along with about a dozen muskie baits. In thanks you drew a beautiful poster picture of a musky breaking water, which you and your mom brought over to me. Still have the picture.!!!! I'm not sure if you still live around Lake Zurich, if you do please look us up. We are still in Echo Lake on Hillcrest Drive. So happy to see you have a passion for musky fishing.......
Congrats again on your MONSTER!!!!!

Location: Hayward, WI | Man,
to SEE that thing coming into the 8, not freak out.... execute an 8 good enough to get that fish to eat, and hook it! WOW!! THEN, to actually manage not losing it, and THEN net all 57" of musky on your OWN.... that's just amazing. I think your pictures turned out very well. The release shots do show how big it is, but I think they ALL show how big it is. I actually like the one where you are holding it out of the water in the boat. Look how much tail flop there is behind your hand!
Very, very, very good job. What an amazing fish. Congrats to you.
