Location: Kansas City BBQ Capitol of the world | Thank you for posting this. This post is very interesting to me to know the "factual" history of the Muskie that always has, and will always be the "Fish of Myth". And with Muskies, "Fish of Myth" has more meaning than one.
Thank you.

Location: Hayward, Wisconsin | jano: First of all, the article you linked to has a ton of incorrect information contained within and much of same has been discussed on this board for several years now.
As for "guessing" how big the Davidson fish was, I will pass. Nothing good can come from it and the various formula "guesses" using various formula's when the girth was not even known is an exercise in futility. "If you don't weigh it, you shouldn't say it."! |

| I believe that the next record muskie will come from the St. Lawrence. Reed and Victoria Findlan, Dale MacNair and Julie Cashaback caught some real monsters. Reed caught at least a half dozen 50" or over last year from the " Larry " and I hope they continue to catch and release those monsters, very exciting reading ! |

All Muskie Hunters are tough by nature but Capt Larry takes it to a new level. Don't forget, we're fishing the harbor on November 1. I'll bring a couple of my favorite Plows and $50 Hookers.
PS: Dane has already reeled in a couple on Kinkaid this year. My poor old boat ain't got wet yet. |

Exactly, those are just.... The tip of the iceberg. You didn't need the exclamation point, its really not that hard to find huge fish on that river. |

From another thread from Larry that failed to merge:
At the risk of overwhelming your sensory organs, I decided to continue with my posting today rather than wait until tomorrow...I love this stuff and it sounds like you do to!
First I'll start with toad that has been published before. I have no details other than size, but it looked some much like the recent Charlie Gallagher tiger (48.5 x 28.5-google it) in its extreme obesity, I just had to put it up again. It was reported to be 48 x 32 and no weight was given, but 50 pounds wouldn't surprise me.
Came from Tuscarora Lake in PA. Pic and notes are a few posts down in the link below. 48 x 28.5. Never weighed. Caught while fishing for walleye of course....

What do you believe is the largest fish to be caught out of the Chippewa Flowage? How about the Turtle/Flambeau Flowage?
Thanks

Location: Hayward, Wisconsin | Corey: I used to believe in the Ross 55 pounder from the Chip, but the mount just doesn't measure up unless it was really a botched job of mounting. Two of the three known photos don't look that big, but the third is somewhat impressive.
I imagine the 52 pounder that John Fleming caught was close to claim. Of course you know what I think about "Louie's" claim...
I know of no others from the Chip over 50 pounds.
As for the Turtle/Flambeau Flowage, Rita Hillenbrand's 52-8.25 with Guide Dick Sleight is the largest from there.
There is one other verified 50 pounder from the TFF, again caught by a women, a Mrs. Reinardy!
A third 50 "rumor" has never been able to be verified. |

Location: Hayward, Wisconsin | How about this October, 2012 Giant from the St. Lawrence River sent along to me by Guide Dave Curtis (fishingfanaticguideservice.com). This fish wasn't weighed, but it is obviously a monster. It was 57.75 inches long!

Location: Hayward, Wisconsin | Would be remiss if I didn't post one of the largest ever to be captured in Wisconsin. Tom Gelb's monster weighed 51-3 and this shot shows what it takes girth wise to equal a real giant. Please, no comments about this special fish being kept.

| these monsters can grow big like this for 1 major reason, a good catch and release ethic.i prey and i sincerely hope these redneck will wakeup and start to give the same good care for these monster called gatorgar.
imo these dinosaurs deserve the same good care & protection.the massacre of that species is a real nonsense,specially when you look at the fight they can give. |

By special request, here is the photo of Charlie Gallagher's giant Tiger from the St. Louis River, MN/WI. It was 48.5 inches long with a girth of 28.5.
