Check out the new state record Great Lakes muskie, caught on Lake Bellaire on Saturday, Oct. 13 by Joseph Seeberger of Portage. The monster muskie weighed 58 pounds and measured 59 inches long. Incredibly, Seeberger caught this freshwater beast on 8-pound test while bass fishing! It took two hours to land the fish, with help from his fishing partners. Congratulations on a job well done, Joseph!
