    I’m not convinced this is a Tiger. I think it looks more like the Barred Phase muskie picture (notice the pointed tail fins). I think Jeremy L. has posted some pictures of Tigers he caught in the metro area in the past.


    You may be right

    I checked out the website and now I’m not completely convinced that it is a Tiger

    The pointed fins is the dead give away

    Good looking fish though

    I helped this crappie fisherman last night. He came up to our boat and asked if we had a net because he had a big Muskie on his line and couldn’t land it. Pulled up and netted the fish, took a quick photo, and helped with the release. Just shy of 40″…..caught it on a tiny Crappie jig and 6LB. test. Congrats on a beauty fish!

    Good work Jeremy

    I happen to believe that as an assist, that counts as 1/2 a fish for your tally

    This 47 incher was caught by my buddy on a west metro lake tonight. He had 3 others hooked up but was unable to put them in the boat. I learned a good lesson on having the right equipment matched with the right lures. Shimano Trinidad matched with a DC. WOW!!! Me and another guy were in the boat. We’ve caught a fair amount of skies over the years but learned alot on what it means to burn these bucktails. Definitely on my wish list for next year.

    Nice Fish, SteveO!!!

    I had the little old lady from 9 mile give me a call yesterday looking for a wood stove with an ashpan. Once I figured out where she was at I asked her about your stay. She remembered…

    Pic stinks. Camera phone at 9:45pm with a single LED light. #5 rattle trap while taking a couple guys out for walleyes on Kentuck Lake.

    No length other than just longer than a 42″ rod locker lid. 23# on the digital scale and a quick CPR

    lots-of-luck

    Tim whatever you do, don’t trip and fall in that boat!

    I am imagining you stuck to the carpet with treble hooks unable to get up.

    Yassir buddy!! Not as thin as I expected after talking to you last night, but it would be nice to see her again this fall when the body matches that block head!

    Thanks for the open seat Bob….It was a blast.

    Good thing I am an extreme net man, otherwise that fish would have been lost…

    Muskie fishing over the past few weeks has really started to get the fever going with me. I don’t know if this a good thing or potential financial disaster…..
