    Not sure if this has been posted anywhere, but I couldn’t find it so I’m posting. Sorry if it is a re-post. Too bad this fish couldn’t be released.

    Amazing! Now that is a nice 55’er! The story says he tried to release it, but the fish did not revive. Love all the pix thay shot. Great story!

    He doesn’t own a car, just that boat, that he drives to work every day. The water looks awesome over there.

    Yeah, my biggest muskie is like 30 inches. That thing could have ate mine. Yeah, actually he probably could’ve ate 2 of them. CONGRATS to him!!!

    Nice fish. Unique coloration. I have 50 incher on the wall for the same reason. I caught it trolling for eyes. After 30 minutes of attempting to revive it just went belly up and died. I spoke with a few muskie addicts and they told me that unfortunately it does happen. I’m not sure it is true, but I thought I gave it my best. I still feel bad though.

    A fish like that hits the net, I don’t care who sets hooks, I just want to be in the boat.

    With the year Tim’s having, I will be happy to get the net

    what I find really cool and admirable about muskie bums is that, if that fish revives, it’s still swimming…and the guy apparently spent a lot of time trying to get it going…

    but if the fish wasn’t going to make it…it’s a good thing to go the rest of the way and certify it…

    Great story all the way around…great photos…I hope/wish they’d talk a bit more about how hard the guy worked to revive the fish … as his intent was not to get a record…
