Catch & Release World Record Muskie caught on The Famous Believer®
November 20, 2006

 

 

It's offical, a Catch & Release World Record Muskie caught on the Famous Believer®
Kevin Davison hooked the 58-inch Musky while fishing with his brother on Northern Ontario’s Lake Nipissing on October 6th, 2006.

The two brothers were trolling the lake when the large fish took to a 10" Fire Perch Jointed Believer®. “I've caught several muskies in the past, but this is definitely a catch of lifetime..." said Kevin’s brother, Gary Davison.

 

 

 

Rather than keeping the fish for mounting, Kevin and his brother released what could have been close to the Canadian record, a 65-pound musky caught by Ken O’Brien back in 1988. Interestingly O'Brien's fish was also 58-inches in length. Lake Nipissing is one of Ontario’s best known fisheries, attracting thousands of anglers each year from Canada and the U.S.A. Muskies are caught regularly in Nipissing but the lake has never been considered a true trophy fishery among the musky fraternity. With Davison’s fish however, that may soon change.
