Record Musky and Northern Pike Catch n' Release Shots




a 57 1/4 inch musky caught July 23 on Lake Vermilion by Todd Kirby of Hudson, Wisc. . Kirby had caught a 48-inch musky earlier in the evening. The bigger fish hit at 10:30 p.m.

 Anglers over the summer of 2021 caught and released a new Minnesota state record northern pike and tied the record for muskellunge. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources certified the state catch-and-release record northern pike, a 46 1/4 inch fish caught June 19, 2021 on Basswood Lake by Brecken Kobylecky, a 15-year-old from Geneva, Illinois. The previous record was a 45 1/4 inch northern pike caught on the Rainy River in 2018. (Courtesy of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources)
