what about the second pic? These fish were the only two muskys I ever took out of calderon falls, both in the same year. I'm glad that this post got so active so soon!

Did you count the pores on the underside of the jaw?

I did not count the pores, or look for the scales. When I catch a musky, even a little one, i am so caught up in the moment that I forget to measure girth most times!

A hybrid should have rounded lobes on the tail, and rounded fins. This looks like a pure muskie that has great markings, but as said already the easiet way to be sure is the half scaled cheek. Here's a shot of a definite hybrid; even though the tail isn't spread out, it's clearly more rounded, as are the fins.

I think both fish are pure muskies. Second pic is hard to tell without seeing the tail fin. First one is absolutely not a tiger. Pointed tail fin gives it away virtually 100% as a pure musky, and a well marked one at that. Congrats on both fish!
