Fishnwire Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I wouldn't have kept it. You guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bukee Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Nice fish. If tiger's don't reproduce why not keep it then an get your world record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Measure it and take a quick pick and throw it back, who cares about the record. Fish of a lifetime for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinbanger Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Nice fish doubt that after a 1/2 hour fight and been gaffed it would have survived a plunge back down the hole ! TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purekgw Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 i feel bad for that nice fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cram Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 It can't spawn, and is a potential world record....i have no problem with that. I do have a problem with ice fishing muskies though. Be thankful that Ontario is a little more intelligent with its fishing regs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskeybugged Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Nice fish. Oh well, never planned on fishing that lake anyway. Someone show that guy the Dale video. said a prayer for the fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinbanger Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Having an ice season is the real problem .Releasing in open water would be a lot different ( better!) than trying to release a fish that size down a 9" hole ! tb Edited February 18, 2009 by tinbanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FISHINGNUT Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Nice fish. If tiger's don't reproduce why not keep it then an get your world record? I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Well it's his fish to do what he wants with, shouldn't matter to us either way. Very nice looking fish. Will make a beauty mount. Congrats to him. Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Well it's his fish to do what he wants with, shouldn't matter to us either way. Very nice looking fish. Will make a beauty mount. Congrats to him. Joey I agree Joey!... if all was legal, it's his right to harvest that fish if he wants to! The only thing that might bother me would be wasting the meat if it was fit to eat... but fish that size aren't usually fit for consumption. Congrats to the Fisherman!!! ... I wonder what size Wall-ice he was using for bait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSmallie Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) It does say "The fish appears to have broken the existing world record for a tiger muskie caught with a tip-up, " so it is only a tip up record and not a world record for all angling types? Still beautiful markings. Edited February 18, 2009 by BigSmallie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigger Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Alot of fish are swimming easier in that lake tonight. Hope I come close to that one day. 25.88lbs is the Ontario min size requirement. So it'll be a heck of a fish, one pretty close to that size, that gets the record here!

Still beautiful markings. There have been 2 tiger muskies caught over 50 lbs in Lac Vieux, Wisconsin. The Ontario record is around 35 lbs from Longlegged Lake in NW Ontario. So it's not a world record but an ice fishing tip-up record. Nice fish all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
