Also, the guy who caught the record fish years ago has videos on youtube that are super cool if you've never gone down that wormhole, its worth a look.

These guys are a little late the the party.
The fish was caught in July 2009!!!!

The biggest fish I guided in my years up there was 64#'s. ;)

That's awesome. Pretty amazing place to have spent time.  Seems like guiding is the only affordable way to go there though! Every meet the guy with the record? From the videos he seems pretty obsessed/knowledgeable.

I won't comment except to say it wasn't a record and it was cheap like the old musky records.
I actually held the fish.
I do know the guy and the previous record holder as well as the guy that beat the current record but released it.  ;)

Fish is probably close to 100 years old or more.
