Possible world record musky
 
Not a striper but WAY freikin cool. Fish is supposedly 56lbs and ate a 36" musky, WAS NOT HOOKED and wouldnt let go of the hooked fish!!!

Thought you guys would like the pictures. These came down from one of my buddies in Canada.

If this holds it's a new worlds record beating a fish in Germany.

Magnificent in life, diminished in death.

That looks like a northern pike to me though?

must have been one hell of a fight

Those were posted on SOL last year. I don't quite remember the story behind it though. Still a monster fish.

Yeah, in spades, because that shot of the "musky" in the water has only been around the internet for, oh, the last 3 years. :rollem:

And they are pike not muskies. Muskies have dark spots, not whiteish.

That is not a Musky. It's a Northern Pike. Muskies are only found in North America, by the way.

Don't know if their old but that underwater picture is sick! It might go down as being foul hooked but I wouldn't mind. But can it be a foul hook if the fish was never hooked? Looks awful cold for a recent picture even in Canada.

nice fish it's definatly not recent and it is a Pike. I can't remember where it's from, but it is a strain of Pike that inhabit brackish water so grow emensly.

BMEUPSCOTTY 08-23-2007 11:13 PM

scoobe 08-23-2007 11:20 PM

Well even if it is old news and false, it's still a mighty big fish! Massive head and girth!
