Back to topic at hand, that is a massive muskie!

That's the new Michigan state record that was caught a few months back. Field and Stream had a write up about it. There's several pics on their site with that beast!

MALTESE FALCON reply :
Now, that's a nice muskie. I've gotten a few a little over thirty pounds. That fish dwarfs them.

Huge!!! 
Bass_Akwards reply :
People who say they'd rather catch "numbers" than catch that Rhino make me laugh so hard!
I'd take getting skunked for an entire spawn just to catch and release a fish with that relative size from ANY species.
LOOK at that thing!!!!!! I can't stop staring at it. What a preditor!
Stringjam reply :
That's a giant for sure.
I don't really like the photo - - the obvious intent was to make the fish look as big as the 150-200 lb. guy behind it. Almost comical. ;D

Wow thats huge. Roby

Hey that is a real picture, those trout live in Mongolia and are HUGE. They're called Taimen and can grow to be 2m and about 90-95kg.

Very nice brook trout! ;D

WOW!!!
Pitchinkid reply :
Jimzee caught one around the 42+ lb mark and i was lucky enough to be with him to help him boat it. But the one in this pick looks 20 plus lbs bigger. Awesome fish to say the least
Pitchinkid reply :
Also Jimzee released his. Im guessing this one was not so lucky.
basser89 reply :

You're right, it wasn't released. There's pics in the Field and Stream like that shows the musky in a lab somewhere. Most of my biggest ski's get released, unless I can't CPR them. A small keeper size (I'd get banned from saying this on a musky forum) I do keep from time to time. Musky are great eating! It's a toss up between them and walleye on which one I think taste better.

I can remember when i was younger and dad caught 1 or 2 that year and we ate them. What i can remember i liked. I dont know if i could compare it to Walleye or Sauger though, those are mighty tasty.
Eternal Angler reply :
Definitely bookmarking this post, I didn't know we had a record Muskie like that in our state. It's the same size as the fisherman. I was showing my girlfriend the size of huge Muskies, she was astonished. She's like if I ever catch a fish like that I will lock up. She's so afraid of them.

To me and a handful of anglers that have had sample some of the musky I've cooked said its close. I've never had them side by side though to do a completely fair judgement though. The only semi-complaint I have with the musky fillets is the huge Y bone that's in the center of the fillet. But they do pull out quite easily after its cooked.

Thats huuuge!
Fish M4ST3R reply :
Is that a tiger muskie because if it is not it should be close to the record
basser89 reply :
QuoteIs that a tiger muskie because if it is not it should be close to the record
No, this is a pure strain. Tigers do not get the red tint in the fins due to hemorrhaging like the pure strains do.
Twistertail reply :
It's like the freshwater jaws! You grand-kids will look back and put you in the same boat as perry when tell them this story in the nursing home! My biggest muskie (and my only one) was 17lbs and even then it felt like a monster! Nice work man!
bobbyc reply :
Anyone know the bait and tackle used for this monster?
RAMBLER reply :
Look at that picture close. There's no shadow from the fish. He's not holding it. I did the same thing with a bluegill. Hung it from a tree with light mono line and gave my wife a rope and she backed up, away from the fish. I lined up the rope with the fish and took the picture (lost it when an old puter crashed). She weighs 230 pounds and the bluegill looked almost as big as she is.
Iowa Matt reply :
This particular fish has been very well documented and was, in fact, tagged and weighed after being netted by fisheries scientists from the State of Michigan a few months prior to being caught on hook and line. There is no reason for the angler to try and fake a picture. It has been in Field and Stream as well as In-Fisherman and is legit beyond reproach. It just amazes me that EVERY time someone catches a huge fish or shoots a big buck people have to try and debunk it instead of just being happy for the person!
Sorry for the rant........
Matt

That thing is huge. Scary looking.
leslie_goes_mental reply :
DANG. I can't even imagine what kind of rod, reel and line to use to get those things. Maybe a shark rod and a boat to haul those things to shore.
