History of World Record Muskies

The History of World Record Muskies goes back over 100 years, with most documented fish caught from 1939 to 1949. This doesn't mean there isn't a record fish out there somewhere yet today and only a matter of time before someone hooks up with one. With catch and release, we need to stop going by weight, which was widely disputed anyway and go totally by length. If a fish measures over 60 inches, it would qualify has record size.

Cal Johnson's 67lb. 8oz. Muskie is mounted and hangs in the Moccasin Bar, in Hayward, WI. It is something to see.

There is also a nice replica of Louie Spray's current World Record on display, at the Landing Bar / Restaurant on the Chippewa Flowage.
