Looking 'photoshopped'!

That could go either way! It does look a little "strange", but there are some big fish here in MI. It could be just the way he's holding it. I haven't heard anything about a record fish yet from any other source.

I had heard that the fish was netted during a MDNR survey......

Why did he have to kill it?

 

[Mini]

the gill was cut during the fight. he tried to revive it, but to no avail.



Yes it was caught (from everything I am reading).

Just looked through the whole thing. Definately the same kyle I knew that worked at Torch Lake Marina. They were an All Star Rod customer of mine and I met him when he was first getting started. He didnt own a car then and it seems he still doesnt. Drives the boat to work everyday the water is soft, and a snowmobile whne it isnt.



The guy is a fishing machine and fishes EVERYDAY for musky.



Great job, great photos too by Dave Rose.

He's got two hands on that monster and his forearm and bicep muscles are bulging! It looks photo shopped, I think anyway, just because that fish is so darn big! It is a shame it didn't live. What a gorgeous fish.

Mini you are correct it is Kyle who drives a forklift for the marina. My sons best friend lives across the lake from him and fishes with him everyday that they are at their cottage. He says it like you, he lives for fishing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1



He even called Eric on Sunday after he caught the fish.
