I suspect that fish deals with severe depression, being a cross-breed, and is probably ostracized by the general musky population. It eats to deal with it's depression... And it's depressed a LOT.


Really beautiful fish! Congrats!!

I was fishing about 300 yards from Dustin when he caught the fish and I can absolutely vouch for the freak out. Yelling, high fives etc. Great fish Dustin your the man!

Holly Mackerel! Props to you on that amazing catch. I stay up all night sometimes just thinking about catching something like that and now you probably stay up all night long thinking of catching that. lol Never ends!
On State and World record fish I am trying to get a grasp on how it counts on a catch and release. If that fish shattered the current MN record and was caught in MN then it should be in print as the "New" record right? But since it wasn't verified by whomever wherever is it just personal satisfaction of knowing you have the record?
I'm thinking I would have thumped her, the boys would be over at the house looking at my mounts on the wall and I'd be telling them the one on the left is the new State record and the one on the right is the Guide who tried to stop me
Great catch!

Ahhhh, ok, as usual I didn't have all the information. Beautiful catch and honestly, I'm glad that beast swims to fight another day.
Thanks

Can you imagine that fish this fall? 48.5" long and 31.5" girth lol. If it is even possible. That fish needs to be on some lipitor. The fish is absolutely crazy fat!

Wow. Something like that has to be a genetic freak. It looks like that fish could no doubt be a world record at the right time of the year, or if it just swallows a 4 pound carp before being caught. You know a fish is big when it just plain doesn't look right!

Great job guys!

I didn't see that fish on the "big fish" board. That's a winner for sure!! You should definitely register it so we can see if Rick can rep it accurately.

Shouldn't be considered for record status, fish was obviously using steroids!

Very cool that the NAVY is painting their submarines to look like Tiger Muskies! That's insane!

Is he going to get a reproduction made? And where would someone go for a custom manikin like that?

Congrats!

A mold does not exist for that fish. Unless a Mold maker / replica artist wants to fabricate, or extensively alter an existing mold. Well..... good thing he has great pictures!!! Very costly, time comsuming, and unprofitable. Since few if ANY have caught a tiger of that proportions. There is no real demand for replicas of those proportions.
I would be impressed if anyone would take on the challange. But throw money at anything.

Can you imagine that fish this fall?

is that true for tigers the same way it is for trues? ie., while their metabolism would slow with the cooler water, they wouldn't start building any egg mass since they're sterile? it seems to me that tigers tend to be more consistently thick all through the year?
