Subject: near world-record tiger muskie caught!


and now everyone will finally know what a REAL girth that big looks like.

holy crap.

 

48.5"Long, 28.5 girth, 49lbs Tiger Muskie GIANT!!!!!!!This weekend my Uncle Charlie Gallagher & his buddies from Chicago, IL, came up to the north country on a guided muskie trip with his favorite nephew (ME), on a quest to get his first Muskie. Little did Charlie know he would catch one of the largest Tiger muskies ever caught in the world.

It was 48.5" long, with a 28.5" girth and weighed 49lbs, Charlie Gallagher released her.
The world record Tiger muskie was caught in 1919 in WI it was 51" , 51lbs.

The MN state record is 36lbs, so this blows the Mn record out of water.

Wow what a gut.
Why is there no controversy with the tiger muskie world record like the pure muskie has?

Hi Guys
I got a few emails to write a little about this, It was a great to be in the boat and have my Uncle Charlie Gallagher From Chicago Catch such a amazing fish, I think it eithers has a healthey diet of eating 10 lb Ducks or Geese????lol
I would love to see what this fish could be in the Fall time???? I jsut told the guys to make one more cast back onto the spot, from a differ angle and she ate a top raider.
I never saw the fish till i netted it, and it rolled in the net and i freaked out how fat she was, I have caught thousands of muskies and have had many big ones in the boat in the fall with fat bellies, but this was truely amazing.

The Great thing is she is still swimming, and hope to get bigger LOL
Great Fish Charlie, True Giant

This is why ducks and other water birds swim at their own risk!

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a belly......... It will be interesting if Rick Lax could repo the bulge of that belly - the release shot shows it pretty well. Congrat's to the lucky man, and great job w/ the net & boat. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!

"What lake?" Right, only an idjiot would ask that question - obviously its LAKE X!

Have fun!
