Here is one that was the same size caught back in May:

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/sports/outdoors/s_626272.html

Tom Simon of the Three Rivers Chapter of Muskies Inc. caught a musky that was 51 inches long with a 26-inch girth and weighed 46 pounds out of Pymatuning. So I guess that makes 2 muskies caught out of there that were the same size. Maybe they were twins.


First, I heard about the muskie from one of my clients. he asked me if I knew anything of it. So I thought that going here first maybe someone would have known. Coincidentally, while telling my Father about the fish I heard about he told me that his buddy from where he worked had caught a huge muskie. After my Dad checked with a few of their mutual friends he said the official numbers were 51in 46lbs.

Did I see it? No. The guy who caught it has probably caught more muskies than anyone on this forum out of Pymatuning. The guy is mainly a loner so you are probbaly not going to hear about all of his catches. The fish is being mounted, it was weighed on a Certified Scale. I'm sure the guy has pictures and if I can get one I will and post it but it's highly unlikely. Just because you didn't hear about it or see it doesn't mean it's false.

The examples on the last post were just to show you that a fish can be under 52 inches and weigh over 45lbs. Why is that so hard to believe?

Tim Ritter Lake Milton 53in 40lbs in the link above.

Why is 51in 46lbs so hard to accept? I wonder what your parents had to go through when you found out there was no such thing as Santa Claus? Especially since there were pictures of him everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!

I know guys that have caught over 45 muskies in a week at Lake St. Clair (on separate occasions). But that is probably impossible too..........

You do know this is the internet right. I am sure all of what you are telling us is on the up and up. However, the internet is like a giant bar where many a "story" are told. Sometimes anglers just gotta poke and prod to differentiate the legit stories from the bs.

Alright mzr76, I believe you. Lets drop it! Sorry Paul, I was just kidding around

There's tons of 51 inch fish that weigh in the 40's. I posted the pic of Tom Simons fish, it's a beast! It's just very rare to find fish that heavy and fat. It's all good, I'm not calling you a liar. Lets move on.

Fighting on the internet is like racing in the special olympics, even if you win you're still retarded.... Or maybe it's better to fight with Jim on the internet, that way he can't get mad at you when you steel his fish an throw his plyers at you an threaten to leave you at the fishing hole!!!

Easy there guy....don't get yourself all in a tizzy...nobody was discrediting your claim there, just asking questions is all. What else did you expect when you posted about such a trophy and no photos? Great story and certainly congrats to a fish of a lifetime!

Anyway, you spoke of 45 skis in a week at St. Clair impossible???? LOL, would you believe 28 in one day!? St. Clair is truely, just like that 46+ lb muskie, a freak of nature!
