Location: minocqua, wi. | i'm curious to know ... now that you achieve that goal ... where do you go from here? imagining the feelings/emotions onboard during and after the catch? also, is it the first time you've seen/marked that fish or have you encounterd it before? and most of all Congratulations! |

without a pics near a bumpboard nobodys cant tell if that fish is a wr!
If they cared about that they would have kept the fish.
Congrats to Capt. Rich and client. IMO they released the largest musky that has ever been caught.

Location: Maple Grove, MN | This fish is legit all the way. Definitely one of the largest Muskies ever caught and one we all dream about.
What is really cool is the fish is still there for others to try for. How could it be better than that?
Way to go Rich! Awesome job! |

Congrats on that beast.

Your track record and this fish speak volumes, this was not a fluke... you certainly captured one of the biggest fish in the system. The release is almost as mind-boggling to me, you have earned everyone's respect and admiration!

| theres living proof that the obese do get off the couch for a snack once in a while.
by far the largest fish probably any of us have seen, thanks for sharing, let alone putting her back for someone else to possibly tangle with. probably lose,
and then say it was over 60" hehe
You've given us all hope that they do exist!
congrats on a lifetime achievement!

I'd say its a Penn Special Senator 114 H2, its a trolling reel - great for trolling up 90-135Lb snapper

| CONGRATS ON A TRUE GIANT RICH.
>I laugh at all you guys asking for pictures by a bump board. By looking at his past catches of multiple 55's by whatever and 58's by whatever you guys aren't questioning those fish. Now all of the sudden a 60'' fish is reported and you don't believe him? Why is that because of jealousy?
Why not just congratulate this guide for one helluva fish that we all dream of catching and not ask questions. You guys are rediculous. He is one of the guys who doesnt talk and brag about his recent multiple 50 pounders. And finally he reached HIS GOAL didnt come here and brag and you guys badger him. CONGRATULATE THE GUY OR KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TO YOURSELF.
GREAT CATCH RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Louie spray who???
