You never know when you might lay into a world-record fish, so it pays to be prepared whenever you fish waters that hold giants such as these. (photos, clockwise from upper left: Aaron Otto, Leonardo Ramirez, Mike Anderson, Zdravko Savor)

I recognize Mike Anderson in the bottom right pic. Quite the striper chaser.
How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

Yep, that is Aaron! I think it went 49.5", or somewhere a little south of 50". Huge Musky on the flyrod, huge Musky on anything.

LOL - not sure if that fish was a world record or not, records are not really my thing. I'm pretty sure my friend Brad, has the world record Musky on Fly right now, not positive though. I'll as him next week when he comes down to fish and follow up with his fish shots, if so.

They ran that picture in the mag a couple months back, I think Phill had asked for big fish shots, if I remember correctly. That was one photo of a few I submitted;
