Brad, that musky was 48 inches and weighed 40 pounds. Lots of credible witnesses were there. That lady caught it on a worm and spinner hook while she was pearch fishing with light line. She had some great coaches and landed the fish successfully. Lots of pics were taken, but no digital. They are getting them developed and we'll see them soon. The fish was revieved and released successfully.

Ever year 1 or 2 are caught at the bar or the outflow. Very rare, but they're there. That's the biggest I've ever heard of being caught.

I'll give them the 48 inches....but 48 inchers have a really tough time getting to 40 pounds....

Nice fish either way!

I agree RJ. Like I said, tons of witnesses. Lets wait for the pics. Probably weighed on a bad scale.

I`ll tell you what I will believe it when I see some of them pics and I agree with you about the weight 40 seem a bit much for 48 " but who knows right

good fishing all

To be 40 lbs, the fish would have to have at least a 27 inch girth ... one fat lady! Would love to see a pic.
