  • It is a shame that the fish died but don't feel bad that it died. It's gotta be an old fish and could have been caught several times before. It's not native to the waters and cannot reproduce in that southern climate. It being caught raises awareness about the awesome fishiery that Kentucky has, making more people come and spend money to fish for musky there which will raise funding for more and better stocking efforts.

  • @bigstomcraft - actually, KY has a native strain of Musky as well as Walleye and they DO reproduce in native KY waters.Of the 3 major subspecies of musky, only E. m. ohioenis, the Ohio Muskellunge, which is found throughout the Ohio River Valley, is native to Kentucky.

    The Chautauqua muskellunge (E. m. ohioensis) is known from the Ohio River system, Chautauqua Lake, Lake Ontario, and the St Lawrence River.

  • that fish was likely 30 to 40 years old.

  • @MrWalleye

    It was a tagged fish "fishery personnel from the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife on Nov. 3, when the fish was certified as an official state record. The muskie is believed to have been stocked as a fingerling in 1989, making it 19 years old. "

  • goto espn and read the article:

    google: Kentucky state-record muskie caught by 14-year-old girl

    "As a muskie guide, I'm big on catch-and-release fishing, but after trying to revive the fish for 45 minutes and watching it go belly up time after time, I knew it likely wouldn't survive so we kept it," Salchli said.

  • i have never went muskie fishing in my life. I plan on going sometime this summer and this fall, but i was wondering if i have any good baits? I have a gold 9" Bull Dawg 9" green bait with a yellow and orange belly and a black stripe on its back and red eyes,and my dad has a 9" ol' woden plug. So are any of these good?

  • @hazaratkhan In the kentucky afield episode in which Sarah Terry was interviewed it states that the fish was 14 yrs.old based of the way the fin was clipped.

  • Very nice fish. Muskie get alot bigger here in Canada tho. I know Ontario record is 65 lbs. Quebec is prolly higher

  • nice fish. but they get bigger in Canada. Ontario record is 65 lbs

  • its not a record unless you kill it

  • thats an awesome fish!

    and in some states the fish has to be killed if you want to apply it for a state record
