Most are released, but some are kept for mounting or eating. A Utah diver who speared a 32-pound tiger muskellunge is being praised and criticized after the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources announced Wednesday that it had approved the catch as a state spearfishing record. On July 17, 1919, the world’s largest tiger muskie was caught in Vilas County and that muskie catch is now celebrating 100 years. It moved towards the back corner of the boat and tried to rub the hook off its jaw. Based on this fishes size, girth and other characteristics, this Tiger Muskie met the criteria for the 1999 release. His catch was 4 inches off the state record. Val Immel stands in front of the mount of the world’s largest tiger muskie at his Minnow Bucket bait shop near Lac Vieux Desert in the town of Phelps.

Ascioti said he doesn’t care about a state record. What's even stranger about the fish is that it's so heavy this early in the year. I had flashbacks to a fishing trip on the Salmon River but that is another story.

Before the paperwork was submitted for that record, angler Dave Tacherv brought a 37-pound, 13 ounce tiger muskie in to the Panhandle Region Fish and Game office.

Regardless of social media commentary, Hansen’s tiger muskie was an impressive-looking specimen, measuring 51 inches. The fish is long yes, but its most impressive feature is its girth. There was no gaff or net to get this behemoth into the boat. Carlson didn't weigh the fish, but later he plugged it's measurements into a standard length/girth formula to estimate a muskie's weight.

By now it was my goal to get it to the surface and into the boat. The tiger muskie is sterile and most large tigers are the result of state stocking programs. First, it isn't a world record muskie.

It had teeth one-half to three-quarters of an inch long.

As usual, we wasted no time as we are pretty serious fishermen. “Anyone have any glow-in-the-dark Ooshies they don’t want? 64″ Musky caught in Green Bay- Possible World Record. (Not bragging, just trying to lend some validity to my opinion.)

LARGEST TIGER MUSKIE CATCH CELEBRATES 100TH ANNIVERSARY, Val Immel is the owner of the Minnow Bucket bait shop on Highway E in the town of Phelps.

Dustin Carlson, Charlie Gallagher's guide (and nephew), has been getting his clients into muskies for 10 years and puts more than 100 fish in the boat each season. The fish is believed to have been stocked in the lake in 1999 (the fish is approximately 13 and a half years old).

The biggest in the books is a Wisconsin fish taken in 1919 at 51 pounds, three ounces. The muskie stayed down, doubled over Gallagher's heavy rod and then shot under the boat.

The fish was never weighed, but it could have threatened the world record. A Bonnier Corporation Company.

I have been fishing for muskies for the last 15 years seriously, and we average over 100 muskies released from my boat per year.

Fisheries biologists are not sure how many more huge tiger muskies the lake can hold. He caught his fish about 72 hours after the last one.

Boise’s catch is the world record for a tiger muskie caught on a tip-up, according to the the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame in Hayward, Wisc. World’s Largest Tiger Muskie...well yeah we’re going to stop!!!

The staff found it entertaining when the African grey parrots first arrived Aug. 15, and had hoped once the birds were put on public display outside that they would “kick the habit,” Jess Newton told the BBC.

By Tony Welch. For more information about Kalinowski’s record catch, go to www.modernmuskierecords.org. One commenter wrote, “So much for reproduction from this beautiful female or male,” to which came the response that tiger muskies are sterile hybrids and cannot reproduce.

His post also displayed photos of fish he caught with the help of Ooshies. It didn’t take but a couple of head shakes before I realized that it was more than a log. He waited half a second and then struck the fish hard. When the biggest of them get into the mood to bite, records have fallen in the same rapid-fire pattern as they have this year. It was toward the end of our two hours on the water when we decided to go back over a particular spot before heading for the boat ramp. Alas, that wasn’t the case. They quickly snapped a few photos and got the big fish back into the water. The girth was amazing. The tiger musky was examined by a fishery biologist with the Idaho Fish & Game Commission before being certified as a new state record. Hardly anyone else has either.

Pictured: Carlson and a big spotted muskie, Carlson has caught and guided anglers to a lot of big fish (like the one pictured here) but he's never seen anything like his uncle's tiger muskie. There three different types of muskies commonly found in the St. Louis River: the tiger, the barred (pictured here) and the spotted (see next page). However DNR officials estimated that Carlson and Gallagher's fish was between 8 and 10 years old. Tacherv's tiger muskie was 49 3/8 inches long. At the time it was weighed in McCall it came in at (44.26 pounds) 44-pounds 4-ounces. What's even more unique about the tiger muskie is that DNR officials think it wasn't stocked, but was actually born naturally.
