I heard from a fellow river rat that a 49-50 inch fish washed up dead along his dock late last week and another 50.50 was caught and released while walleye fishing.

Congrats to the fellows for the catch and (especially) the release! You don't hear about too many 50 inch fish getting released around here......as a matter of fact that is the first 50+ inch musky I have heard of getting released (out of about 23 different fish) since 1993.
