It's the talk this season of anglers up and down the river, according to one St. Lawrence River charter boat captain.
On Oct. 15, Jeff Brockner, of Callicoon, N.Y. caught "a monster," 58-inch muskie with an estimated weight of 60 pounds.
He was fishing at the time with his father, Alan Brockner, of North Branch, N.Y. in the son's 20-foot Starcraft boat. Capt. Bob Walters, of Water Wolf Charters, said Brockner's fish is the "talk of the river" – even more so than the pair of 50-plus muskie caught and released recently by another angler.
Those fish measured 54 and 52 inches.
The Brockners have made an annual pilgrimage each fall for a week's vacation to fish the river for muskie "as long as I can remember -- probably the last 25-30 years," said Jeff's wife, Laurie.
Is this father and son team's biggest fish ever on the river? "Oh yeah," she said.
