Damn Tiger Muskie

Fishing for crappies. Catch a tiger Muskie and the damn thing bit me trying to land it. Cool fish coming up with clear ice but he tried to take my thumb.
Sorry no pic I had to attend to my thumb.

Pictures or it didn’t happen, you know that rule

you could still clean it, right!

I mean, you told us you caught a tiger. But you didn’t say how long… cardinal sin.

Sounds like a hammer handle pike to me

They aren’t a bass, you’re not supposed to lip them.

Did you atleast get the cheeks cut out?

Fish lip grippers work great for getting toothy fish out of the hole and your hands scar free. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Entsport-Gripper-Professional-Stainless-Grabber/dp/B01C7BTT6U/ref=asc_df_B01C7BTT6U?mcid=fe7c644424223c3fa9390d9bf136294f&hvocijid=8859150590183260618-B01C7BTT6U-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=721245378154&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8859150590183260618&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9019498&hvtargid=pla-2281435179738&psc=1

I also like to use them for tullibee so my hands don’t stink.
