3 of the Best Photos from 2010

Postby KUP » Thu May 05, 2011 5:09 am

OK, so it is just an opinion, but these were my favorites. And yes, size does matter!

Mike Floyd and Ed Hoyle shared the very special honor of Catching and Releasing the 2 biggest Tiger Muskie in the Nation, in all the Muskies, Inc. Chapters.
It was a 3 way tie, actually with an angler from Chapter 12, Headwaters, in Wisconsin. 49 inches, all. Mike's was from Lake Tapps and Ed's from Curlew.
Congratulations, gentlemen.
But my all-time favorite? The smile, the lighting, the gentle way the angler holds the fish?
It was her first muskie and it was FABULOUS!
WTG, Kinsey!

Tiger Muskies are sterile.
You can't keep them under 50 inches:

The main thing that has always stopped me was that my father always told me that you need to move around a lot, because you go out looking for them, which is difficult for me because I don't have a boat with a motor. Covering a lot of water takes me a long time. Growing up in Lewis County, I'd be begging my dad to take me to mayfield to try to catch 'em, but he always said it was really hard, and we only had a kayak. So we bass fished. I'm down to go out and give it a shot whenever my wife will let me get away, I've drove to Lake Tapps once but I only caught smallmouth. I have no idea what I'm doing when I go.

I'm sure there are some that do, but with a minimum size of 50" who would want to. Also remember these fish are sterile and unable to reproduce so it’s much for fun to Catch, Photo, and Release for another day.
