    The angler who caught the 58.5″ fish out of Mille Lacs has to be kicking himself right now.

    The rules for the world record are crazy.

    IGFA requirements are absolutely ridicilous.

    Oddly enough, the individual who caught it was with the guy who currently has the state record (by weight). Sharpshooting muskies with live sonar again I see…don’t forget the * next to it.

    That’s exactly why the PMTT banned it lol. Ironically, because of the same guy we’re talking about here.

    I love that he didn’t even give them a quote. That guy’s gotten so beat up on social media over the last few years, it’s gross. Just keeps putting record fish in the boat while the haters keep hating from their parents’ basements

    Right! Funny he holds the C&R record, new Crappie record as well if I remember right, and if it is true he was part of the reason PMTT banned it, he clearly has SKILL using the technology than most. If FFS was so easy why are others not doing the same thing. A ton of people have FFS now and very few can use it like him.

    Now congrates to the angler for catching a rock solid 54″ and jumping through all hoops qualify for the IGFA world record.

    and if it is true he was part of the reason PMTT banned it

    He is the reason they banned it. He mounted 8 units to his boat during an event in Northern Wisconsin. Just slowly went around scanning for a fish and then harassed it with various lures until it bites. Not sure about you, but I don’t find that to exactly be “fishing.”

    They allow it during pre-fishing now but not during the actual events hours. The ducers have to be removed. Ironically, he does not participate in PMTT events anymore.

    My previous supervisor’s cousin was in the boat when they caught that muskie Nov 2021 (he’s actually in the picture). Right from the horses mouth from someone who was there. Not some online rumor made up in a basement or on social media.

    Yes he’s the reason they banned it – they changed the rule literally the day after this tournament

    Is it really a record if there have been dozens, if not hundreds, of bigger fish caught and documented? I mean I realize this is the biggest one to follow IGFA protocols, but other than IGFA people who cares about that? 54′ is a great fish, no doubt, but not that uncommon to see imo.

    ^^It was 57.5″ – your point still stands as many that size have been caught, but now we know you didn’t read the article jester

    Haha I did, I just missed the (tip to base of the fork) part. My bad, that is a quite a bit more unique and rare, but still not unheard of. Good call!
