North NJ Tiger Musky

[acaravaglia]

Fishing shiners on size No. 2 hook, 6# test mono, ended up catching a 35", 11 lb 4 oz tiger musky. Also got half a dozen 12 - 14" large mouth.

Awesome catch on the light tackle. Great job dude! They have to be the prettiest fish swimming in NJ waters. GOOD STUFF!!!

That's a true strain musky, not a tiger. Nice catch and nice job on the release.

Thanks for the correction, apparently they look very similar (except pointy vs rounded tail).

[catfishonthelake]

No worries. They can have very distinct markings that make them look a lot like a tiger. Pretty fish you had. Congrats again.

Maybe in NJ fresh water.

In the salt, my vote goes for the Black Sea Bass.
