Harvey Hollenback, 90, of Breezy Point, Mn. and his grandson Cameron Ling who was visiting from Dallas, were invited by a close friend, Wade Brill, to go muskie fishing ! On Labor Day week-end, after about an hour-and-a-half of trolling, Cameron hooked up; it took 20 minutes of fighting the fish to get it to the
net, and the lure came out just
as it was being netted !
The fish was caught at a lake
near Longville, Mn.; it measured 44 in., with a girth of 19 in. and was Cameron's first muskie,
ever ! He is now a confirmed muskie hunter !
Wow! What a big fish, and a super big lure. Goes to show that it takes a large bait to catch big fish. Just Sayin...RJS

I'm sorry; I couldn't tell you as the article only stated - 'a lake in the Longville area', with no specifics given !
That's a really nice fish. Way to go. 👍👍
Boy that will give ya musky fever. Beautiful fish, congratulations.
Time to change out that center treble hook. It looks Bent with a hook broke off of it.I wonder if that is the hook he spit out at the end of the fight.
Great article Big A...

Great fish - I’m jealous. Going out Thursday or Friday after them.
I got the fever even worse now - haven’t broke the 40” yet. Dont have the giants around this area but they catch a few 40-45” every year - “my turn please” 🤛
