Posted on FB, so we’ll have to wait and see if it gets verified.
58-1/2×24″ held by guy in green shirt.
Same outing was a bonus 52″ held by guy in yellow shirt.

Wow! Be fun to tie into one of those, I have only caught a 36″ on Minnetonka.
Super Awesome!
Andy I reread your post
“Same outing was a bonus 52″ held by guy in yellow shirt.”
When is a 52″ a bonus fish? What an awesome outing for those two.
My gosh. Just one of those is the fish of a lifetime and they got two. I assume it was Mille Lacs.
I was happy for these guys until I saw the camo crocs. I can’t jive with that.
Seriously, I assume they were basin trolling? Amazing fish. Good for them even though their choice of footwear leaves something to be desired.
Nice. Wonder if that means the big pike and <strong class=”ido-tag-strong”>Muskie bite is picking up
Oh yeah…it has.
Kent Buckingham caught 2 muskies one day the week we were staying at Fisher’s. He’s been reporting multiple large pike catches the last couple weeks also. He’s the one running that big red Evinrude, I’m sure you know who that is.
Yes, this was Mille Lacs and not sure how far out in the basin but I think they’re focusing on the east side near Malmo.
Word I’m hearing now is they did not get qualifying measurement photo as I assume they may not have been aware that the fish would have exceeded the current record C&R muskie by over an inch. 
If it’s still alive and kicking this fall one might imagine a 60+ pound fish.
Edit…I meant 50+ pounds.
When is a 52″ a bonus fish?
When you catch a 58 1/2″ fish on the same trip. 
With the way fishing is going the C&R records will basically be the record within ten or twenty years.
I agree, and I think they should establish a C & R state record for EVERY fish in the record books. Not just the “bigger” species. Right now I think the C & R record category exists for sturgeon, catfish, muskellunge (pure strain), and northern pike. Not sure why tiger muskellunge isn’t on there.
Good for them. I have been dreaming on making it over 50-1/2” and they do it twice in one outing. Wow!

No, I think you were right the first time. That fish would almost certainly be over 60 pounds in November.
