Location: Toronto, Ontario | Beautiful fish. What did you use to measure the girth because no offence, but that does not look like a 26" girth. |

Location: Bloomington, MN | That is a beautiful fish! Lax & Fittante would go nutsy bow wow trying to recreate those markings on a replica. The chubby nub tail meat on big old tigers is unique. Congratulations on a rare trophy! |

| great fish - can somebody post a photo of a rubber dubber - my body told me about the bait and I assumed he had the name wrong - sounds like he was right. Thanks |

| I agree that when people question the length or girth of fish it comes across pretty negative.
I have caught plenty of fish myself and after a while you can be a pretty good judge of size, but size when you are there in person. A camera can do some very funny things to make a fish look larger (or even smaller) than they really are.
This poster should be excited about a very nice tiger muskie that he boated. I personally do not care what the actual measurements are - NICE FISH regardless.
I can also understand why others have questioned it. A 26" girth on a fish is pretty thick even for some of slobs caught in late fall.
Lets try not to attack or criticize and instead enjoy a picture of a great fish. If you question his measuring, why don't you send him a private message to discuss. No need to hash it out here. |

Location: Oregon, WI | It's too bad you guys didn't see the rest of the pics. That fish is close to 5 inches across the top. Use Mag's fingers as a gauge. If they're 4 inches long, the fish is probably 8+" deep. |
