We sit down with Vic Gelman, the angler behind the muskie that has taken over the internet and sparked a massive debate — is it a New Jersey state record or not?

Vic tells the full story of the catch, from brutal ice conditions to landing the fish of a lifetime. We also break down the controversy surrounding border waters, NJ regulations, and why this fish may or may not be officially recognized.

Regardless of the outcome, one thing is certain — this is one of the wildest fishing stories to come out of New Jersey in years.

A massive 45-pound muskie caught on Greenwood Lake may have broken the New Jersey state record — but the catch sparked a huge debate across the fishing community.

Because Greenwood Lake is a boundary water shared by New Jersey and New York, anglers are arguing over whether the fish should actually count as a NJ state record.

Joe and Chris break down the controversy, discuss the regulations around border waters, and debate what the decision could mean for the future of the muskie fishery.

We’re also joined by Bob Darling, a Multi-Species Mayhem member who had an incredible run of catches including a giant chain pickerel and hybrid striped bass. Bob shares how the contest pushed him to fish more and target species he never chased before.

Topics include:

• Ice fishing recap and recent catches

• Multi-Species Mayhem motivation and competition

• The debate over using guides in fishing contests

• A crazy channel catfish story that ended with a phone at the bottom of the lake

• The full breakdown of the Greenwood Lake Muskie State Record controversy

This episode sparked one of the biggest fishing debates we’ve ever had.
