Got my personal best muskie at 56.75 inches along with a nice 52 incher. All live released to be caught another day.
OK. Can anyone flip these pics around? Don't know why that happened.
I did not know there were musky south of the equator ;) Nice fish, my one and only musky looked like a hammer handle northern.
You will have to edit the photo to get it turned around.
wow, lunkers indeed!
Good photos Larry, upside down or not, better than what I can do, nice fish, cheers Don.
Wow. That's fishing right there! Nice
Click on pic and it shows the picture upright
Nice fish Larry and kudos for letting them swim away
Ted
Larry: That is a great catch, and what makes it so much more. You released them back to be perhaps caught again.
Joe

I'm in Ottawa Canada. Well north of the equator
On the bodies of water I'm fishing they're trophy waters with a minimum size limit of 54 inches. Can't eat them as they are old fish and full of mercury, led, what have you in todays waterways from eating contaminated fish for 25/30 years. A replica would be the way to go if you want a trophy. I'm good with a picture and a memory. Not as dusty (though you may argue that point about my memory)
Wow!! Nice 8)
Marc..
Well done!
That is a true trophy fish.
If the musky is the fish of 10,000casts, I wonder how many casts it takes to catch a 57" fish!?
I supose that fish was nearly 60lbs?
I have spent my fair share of time musky fishing MN and Canadian side of lake of the woods, but never caught anything that big.
My uncle was a serious musky fisherman and active member of muskies inc throughout the 70s and 80s. He wrote a book on musky fishing, not sure what his biggest fish was, but it may have been slightly smaller than this guy.

It used to be a fish of 10,000 cast, now days most fish it by trolling, in Quebec anyways
Marc..
Epic musky! trolling stick baits or spinners is very common in St Claires
Wow, that's a big dog! Caught on bait or artificials?

Nice catch and release, Larry...congratulations
Sal
Thanks for all the comments but the main reason I posted is because we're all fishermen (fisherpersons) and we like to see big fish. You just gotta love it when it all works out for you.
Tight lines all.
Thanks, Larry —
For sharing this trip...
Great fish, and great releases.
A Pro in action!
Best,
Fred
I missed this yesterday! Sheesh! What a fish! Awesome catch Larry! I have hooked one like that...yet have not landed one like that...it is a rush like no other! Congrats! 8)
Thanks for the great musky picture, it must have been a hoot landing that fish so long and holding it live for the great pictures. Thanks also for whoever uprighted the rotation of the pictures. Kudos to all... Great fishin to all. ;)
Wonderful fish Larry - thanks for the ride :)
You have now officially earned the name "Lunker Larry." You the Lunker Man isn't quite as sexy a sobriquet as the Butt Man. ;D Dominick
Awesome job...and congratulations on your new PB!..... now you have a new goal to top ;D
And, Dominick, still trying to figure out "sobriquet"...... think i got it tho..
Lunker= Larry
Dominick= Speedo.... ???
Brett
Thanks for the great big musky picture Larry. Thanks to our administrators we are now expanding our horizons using big words. So big me the dummy had to look this one up. We know how to fish, others use big words to describe us! Everybody is happy! :D

John. Just reread your post and picked up on your uncle writing a book. Guess it didn't click the first read. What is the name of the book and your Uncle's name?
To everyone else. Thanks for all the nice comments.
