I was snorkling last week and i got swimmers itch so i am just posting this... i found this interesting thing in grindstone lake. Right by the swimming beach on the south side of the lake. I think it belonged to a Muskie or Northern. I do think it was a pretty big fish by the looks of the teeth. the left bottom jaw. How big does anyone think the fish was or what kind of fish do you think it is?? just curious...

At a little over 5" I'd say that knee comes with a good sized one (jk <!--graemlin::D-->)

The jaw....no clue...

I will be up in that area in Sept. you can show me where to fish for them toothy critters. I would think it was mid 30's to low 40's.

That one long THICK tooth tells ME this was a BIG fish...I'd have to say muskie at 50+ <!--graemlin::eek:-->

Next time you're in a local place that has a couple mounted....do the compare <!--graemlin:;)-->

I got to agree with Dave this fish was big. I've got a 42" on the wall and its longest teeth are just less than 1/2 an inch.

Check out this Link.
It tells of a giant set of jaws found on the Chippewa Flowage in Wi.
It also has another story about a giant musky attacking a very large Catfish some guys had on the line.
Both storyies have been vouched for by Larry Ramsell. Hall of fame Musky guide that I have fished with on several occasions.

For people who don't know, the area in Northern WI where Chippewa Flowage, Lake Namakagon, Tiger Cat Reservoir, and Clam Lake is world famous for musky. The last 3 World Records have been caught in that area, and fish in the upper 50's are caught there every year. The lakes there are huge, so there very well may be a 70" musky swimming around.

Nice link John <!--graemlin::cool:-->

And yeah...a 70" would NOT suprise me ONE bit up there..it's just a question of time <!--graemlin::eek:--> <!--graemlin::D-->

They say that ya never really see the Old Fish when they die. They lose the ability to feed.
With nothing in the stomaches to decompose,they just lay on the bottom and rot. There is no gasses there to float them to the top.
I'd sure like to see the one that got a hold of that Catfish in that story!! <!--graemlin::D-->

A 70" muskie is not possible. Thats like saying a 40" walleye. Fish are just like people they can only get so long and after that they just get fatter anf fatter and fatter.

Well than i guess we are going to have to agree to disagree because i just dont think there is any way one is out there!

I BELIEVE IN 6 FT MUSKIES. I HAVE SEEN SOME MONSTERS UP IN THAT AREA. I HAVE A CABIN IN MINONG ABOUT 20 MINUTES FROM HAYWARD. I HAVE BEEN FISHING UP THERE SINCE I WAS OLD ENOUGH TO CAST AND I HAVE SEEN SOME BIG MUSKIES. I DON'T THINK ANYONE KNOWS HOW BIG A MUSKY CAN GET. THE REASON YOU DON'T SEE A DEAD 70" FISH IS BECAUSE BY THE TIME IT'S 50" ITS ON SOMEBODIES WALL. THERE ARE STORIES OF THE DNR CATCHING 6 FOOT FISH AND I BELIEVE IT

Just wait until someone posts the story about the guy who claims to have caught a 56 inch northern. He claims it swallowed a 36 inch northern, He was trying to land. The pike is claimed to weigh 56 pounds. I guess, I should have been using the pike I used to eat, for bait instead. I have the story, but do not remember how to post the pictures. But someone out there, will get it done.
