What about this one. Any info on this fish? By the looks of that head and was something ridiculously HUGE. Possibly the biggest ever caught? Wish I could find a better picture.
The second pic I just through in as it might be the most iconic muskie photo ever taken.
you can find the whole fish pics somewhere right here,but don't know where |

My dream Fall trip is a couple weeks with Jody and Mike during a late Fall run into the full Moon. Alaska's cool, Hawaii's nice, but I'll take Georgian Bay any day! |

| Amazing must be nice to have the chance to catch one of these!!

Alrighty then, time to move on to 60-inchers. First, two qualifiers. I am not going to post every photo I have of claimed 60-inch and plus fish...too much digging in the files to do that and those I won't put here have already been published. Second, since none of the following fish were measured on a bump board (to my knowledge) I cannot speak to the veracity of the claimed lengths. You will have to make up your own mind.
The first (2-one photo) come from ILLINOIS!! Somewhere in northern Illinois there is a privately stocked strip mine (likely with Kalepp Fish Farm muskies...they used to have a 57-inch brood female that they took their eggs from). First, several years ago they found a dead giant on shore that measured supposedly, 63-inches...no photo available (yet). Then, this past spring another giant was found dead that measured 60-inches! Picture follows:

Location: Aurora | Aww c'mon.. Our resident reel maintenance guy is Pikemaster and let's admit it, Slamr is pretty close to Slimer so I bet he's got a raging pike fetish. I'm sure there's no one here that would shake off a 40" or larger pike next to the boat without hoistin it fer a pic first. Anyone care to see some big pike?
I'd set up one of those voting pole posts but don't know how.

Just remember, muskies don't get larger than 60" and pike don't get larger than 50" so be sure not to post the really big ones.  |

muskyrat - 3/8/2014 10:39 AM New Thread Mega Pike. Lets see some Euroslobs! I say let's forget those pike for a while because I'm still drooling on the muskie porn. I hope everyone understands just how lucky we are to have somebody like old uncle Lar... I once showed him my taped up dog eared first compendium and his reaction was a simple knowing nod understanding the obsession. If it's anything muskie past or present, he is usually right in the middle of it… and been a bloodhound on any big muskie trail for 40+ years, what an amazing body of work!

Musky Brian: I refer to to my earlier post re the 60's:
"Alrighty then, time to move on to 60-inchers. First, two qualifiers. I am not going to post every photo I have of claimed 60-inch and plus fish...too much digging in the files to do that and those I won't put here have already been published. Second, since none of the following fish were measured on a bump board (to my knowledge) I cannot speak to the veracity of the claimed lengths. You will have to make up your own mind."
fair enough....there is actually a replica of this fish in the Bear Bar in Winchester with this photo displayed near it. Next time some of you are up there check it out and let your own eyes do the judging....( I think the replica belongs in Hayward, it would fit in well  ) |

I don't know if they would be worthy but I have a 40 and a 42" 20lb I would be willing to contribute to a pike thread. I'm proud of them! |

| Those are very nice fish for our area. You don`t see 40" often. Wait till you see what they get in Europe though. Like Larry said as big as any of the Muskies you have seen. Ludacris size fish. |
