| Got my first muskie today! Fishing a local Tiger Muskie lake when I got. Just as I was turning around to say how we should move I saw the fish dart for my bait at boatside! It grabbed and jumped like 3 feet in the air, after a 30 second fight he was in the net! Nice 42 inch Tiger Muskie!

Location: Oconomowoc, WI | Awesome fish! First of many more, I'm sure.
I remember my first fish like it was yesterday. That was also on a spinnerbait and altho it wasnt boatside, it too leaped out of the water as soon as it hit the bait. |

| hate to break it to ya, learntoswim, but that's 100% a tiger muskie. i'm guessing it came from one of the metro lakes stocked only with tigers |

Location: La Crosse, WI | Beautiful fish Nolan, definitely a tiger! Welcome to the addiction of musky fishing. It is a curse and a blessing. Nice to see a younger man getting into the sport, keep it going. Remember, your biggest fish is just a cast away! |

| Great looking fish! Tigers are the coolest looking fish ever and for them a 42 is a really good one. I think that's a lake I know, haven't fished it for awhile and am glad to see it's still kicking out some nice fish. Now go get a 43!  |

| Actually got my second one last night. 45 inches, sorry about the bad hold, he was beating me up really bad so I ended up grabbing by the fins for a quick picture. Didn't even realize I did that until I was looking at the picture.
