Muskie
The muskie that northern Wisconsin fishing legend Louis Spray caught in 1949 can keep its title of world's largest, the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame decided. The Hall's board of directors rejected a Woodstock fishing group's challenge to the record by an 8-0 vote, saying the group used flawed science in trying to prove Spray's muskie was smaller than he claimed. The World Record Muskie Alliance contended the muskie listed at 69 pounds, 11 ounces couldn't have weighed that much and contended Spray "perpetrated a fraud of historic proportions." Many around the issue still say the system is flawed, and many believe that there may be a bias towards fish taken from Wisconsin water's.
