quote from Field & Stream

"On Sunday, September 27, Kyle Anderson of Rapid City, MI caught this 50-pound 8-ounce Great Lakes muskie. The fish is now the new Michigan state record. It beat the old record, set in 1984, by 2.5 pounds. Anderson was fishing in Torch Lake, near Traverse City."

The neat thing is, the world record is almost 70#s.

I think that's Riffe or Mayfield. Aren't they sterile there?

That fish looks bigger than 50 pounds! They have tiger musky in merwin and yale. We caught one but it was about 5 pounds, but we'e seen some big ones in there. The minimum keeper length is 55 inches

The dude is probably shorter than normal. Hence making the fish look more ginormous than it is. But it is still huge.

Several questions have been asked about musky in Washington. Washington has 7 lakes presently stocked with tiger musky. Tapps, Merwin, Mayfield, Evergreen Reservoir, Newman, Curlew, and Silver Lake by Spokane. Tigers are a cross between a true musky and a northern pike and do not reproduce. They grow big in these waters and offer a tremendous fishing experience. You might check out the following website for more information and some fantastic photos. http://nwtigermuskies.com/
