Big Bass Daddy - Hard to say...maybe 20 to 30 years??
An incredible fish for sure!!! What's even more incredible is the WICKED hair on the dood rolling that fish on the cart
I think the only down fall is that it was a tagged fish. The largest fish ever involved in a tracking study...could have had some real valuable info about how a fish that size spends it's time.
It will be a beautiful mount.

BBD
depends on the body of water and the food supply, but usually divide the weight by 2 and you'll find the age
Pike = 1 pound = 1 year....

If I had caught it.
There are few problems in life which can not be solved with a well-placed, high-explosive projectile.

Awesome fish for sure but I am with Seaweed, my first thought was it looks like a replica mount. It is probably just because it is such a clean fish.[/u]

Those Great Lakes muskies are just gorgeous. It really is the quintessential musky, strikingly marked, clean and BIG.
