| My first Skie through the ice! Tried a new technique today, and it paid off big time!
This fish was out of the water mabey 45 sec. and took off like a bullet on the release! Going to try to repeat this pattern this week and will post again soon..... hopefully!

| Nice fish. Mind sharing the technique?
I'v caught a couple tiger musky through the ice on smelt rigs under tip-ups. Granted they were pretty small. Probably around 5lbs. |

| Thanks guys! the markings are top notch, but I've seen Tigers pushing 50 in this lake, and if I stick one I will definatly get a rep! |

| its too bad the state does not stock a few lakes with tigers anymore. there are a few private lakes with very good fish in them. i cant see why the state could not provide similar fisheries, or add them to lakes that currently have naturals in them. |

| That's one of the nicest hybrid pictures I've ever seen. Especially in the middle of winter. Good job.

| *as written in the March 2007 Fox River Valley Muskies, Inc. "News Cast"
Some anglers are still managing to wet their lines for muskies this winter. Take a look at this beautiful hybrid, caught and released by club member Lance Zimmerman on Crystal Lake on January 24th!
Kind of an interesting technique, too. Normally, a dead sucker is the last thing a muskie fisherman wants to see, but in this case....fishing a dead sucker in deep water was the ticket. This 41" tiger came in 20ft. of water off a deep break. Describing the release, Lance wrote "this fish was out of water maybe 45 seconds....and took off like a bullet!". Good job Lance, keep'em comin!
