Location: Athens, Ohio | A new Ohio state record Tiger Muskie has been certified by the Outdoor Writers of Ohio State Record Fish Committee on May 16, 2006 Matt Amedeo, from Akron, has caught a new state record Tiger Muskie weighing 31.64 pounds from Turkeyfoot Lake, part of the Portage Lakes near Akron, on April 28. Amedeo’s catch was 47 inches in length. The fish was caught using a Berkley Power Crawl while bass fishing. The Amedeo’s new record catch replaces Ronald Kotch’s previous state record Tiger Muskie that weighed 31.5 pounds, and was also caught from Turkeyfoot Lake, April 22, 1999. The Ohio Division of Wildlife District Three Fisheries Supervisor, Phil Hillman identified Amedeo’s catch. Hillman also noted that Turkeyfoot Lake has not been stocked with tiger muskies since 1985, thereby making the record fish at least 21 years old. Ohio state record fish are certified by the Outdoor Writers of Ohio (OWO) State Record Fish Committee. Assisting in the process is fisheries biologist with the Ohio Division of Wildlife.
