Photo of the Day: NJ State-Record Tiger Muskie?




Congratulations to cityhunter1, who landed this muskie and explains: "On Fathers Day I caught this 46 inch Tiger Musky on Greenwood Lake NJ using a Mega Strike spinnerbait while fishing for smallmouth. We estimated the weight to be around 28-30 lbs. The current State record is 45 inches and 29 lbs. I took a few pictures and then released. It was only later that my friend had told me about the current record. Oh well, now we know! Lol."
