Personal best fresh water:
48" 30 lb. Tiger Muskie at Pineview June 2005
Caught on a 2" Salt & Pepper Tube jig, med / lite rod, 8 lb. mono.
Co-worker and I were fishing for SMB near Cemetery Point in some submerged brush.
Thought I had a waterlogged tree limb on a snag. Didn't set the hook. Pull it up to the boat and saw it was a TM. Buddy netted it by the tail and dumped it over the side into the boat. That's when it decided to wake up. Knocked my open tackle box over (was finding hooks and weights and stuff for the next year), knocked my fresh poured coffee cup off the gunwale (into the boat fortunately[
] ).
Exactly 1 week later my youngest son caught one in almost the same spot., 27 inches, 3 lb. 10 oz.
