[QUOTE="snow, post: 176698, member: 1056"] However this time is was found dead on mille lacs but most likey would've been a new state record~ 591/2" wowzer! [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Verdana]But it doesn’t shrink in length. While growth slows tremendously for muskies as they reach old age, they aren’t believed to actually stop growing. But that doesn’t mean every fish will reach 59 1/2 inches if it manages to stay healthy long enough. While muskies aren’t native to Mille Lacs, it’s among a relatively small number of lakes in the state where muskies can find the forage — namely tullibees, or ciscoes — to grow massive. But it takes more than that to reach 59 1/2 inches, Mero said. “Many females won’t get over 54 inches, no matter where they live. Think about how many 7-foot people there are in the world. There’s a genetic element at work in a fish like this.” Gilbert said he had no reason to keep the fish. “After I held it up for a photo, I just dropped it back in,” he said. “I figured that was the way to show some respect for the fish. It still smelled up my boat for two weeks.” [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana][ATTACH=CONFIG]14933._xfImport[/ATTACH][/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
