Huge Muskie Released - The McNair Monster Muskie
Friday January 9, 2009
Dale McNair caught a huge muskie in the St. Lawrence River while trolling. They actually saw the fish on their depthfinder before hooking it. The fish was released but its length and girth equal a new world record muskie.

Is it just me or is the photo not showing up? I’d love to see a pic of this monster!
It’s just you. I can see the picture just fine. And it’s a whopper!! I wonder why they released it?!
For some reason that picture took a long time to become live on the site this morning. Usually it is within minutes after I upload it but it took a long time this morning.
It is a huge fish. I guess they strongly believe in catch and release but it sure would have been hard to release a new world record.
SMO, killing such a magnificent specimen just to get your name on a record book is wasteful. Pictures, a certified scale, and a witness or two are all you need for record certification.
Kudos for the release of this muskie. It can now continue to provide sport for other fisherman as well as remain in the gene pool.
Well said bWs, this guy earns my complete respect for leeting this monster go to roam free. If there were more people like him out there, many more of us would have the thril of catching such a fish.
