Congrats on a good-looking fish. Looks like it was a nice day out there. How thick was the ice?

Great fish! Sounds like a fun outing. Thanks for sharing. Catching a musky through the ice had to be a rush.

Awesome catch and story along with video.
We're fortunate to have this species in Utah for folks to target. Thank you to the DNR/DWR for doing this. Glad you found one willing and another almost committed. With that being said here's some constructive educational feedback: Boga grips are great for controlling the head of a fish but to hold them in an extended vertical position for pictures isn't recommended. Boga grips are to control the fish especially its head and as I see it not hold them for photo ops. If the fish thrashes about well literally you'll cause extensive damage to fish. May seem okay but highly unlikely it survived even when released especially if it thrashed about before pictures. Never hold a tiger muskie (or any fish unless you keep it) suspended in a vertical position as this causes displacement of internal organs. Those organs and connective tissues are actually fairly elastic. The most pronounced and long-lasting damage from vertical holds for a large fish occurs in ligaments, skeletal and muscular structures around and immediately behind head and gills including gill lamellae and rakers. Resulting in serious injury to fish’s respiratory system, mobility, and ability to forage for prey. Now laying on the ice for a measurement like with any fish its cold plus you are potentially removing protective slime from the fish that can lead to skin infections later. Just saying. Same goes for shore fishing with any fish one will be releasing. Try to keep the fish off the ground and ice. Again great catch and I'm sure experience but strongly recommend learning how to properly hold the fish in a horizontal position in a horizontal hold or tail grip hold. Congrats as this species even though large and awesome need to be handled properly for the preservation of the species and you indicated you released. Good on you and hopefully the fish is okay. Yes just a fish but they are sterile and put in Utah bodies of water for a reason. Just a little bit of proper fish holding education on my part regarding Tiger Muskies as I'm more than willing to help educate on this species were all other fish are just bait with pretty colors.[  ][][signature]

Why are you so salty? She gave you useful information so that you don't accidentally kill any tigers in the future.

Education is NEVER a waist of time. However, how it is received can and IS in this case.
To call someone names for putting up important news is lacking in judgement big time. Like the GUN issue these days. Not the gun, but the HUMAN is at error. I am a moderator and was told to review this post. I see it as very educational on how to and NOT handle catch and release. Choice is now yours. You can continue to handle the fish vertically and with boga and KEEP or feet the other fish, OR you can practice proper catch and release. Or never post here again, so many choices, good hing we arre all adults and can do this. Have a great day and catch lotsa big ones. Sorry if not the edit I was suppose to do. [signature]

We live in a day and age when people are overly sensitive...forums such as this are a great source of information for fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts and can also be great learning mediums as well. Sadly, though, too often educational posts are taken as an insult or too sensitively. K2muskie gave some valuable information and constructively criticized the OPs handling of a fish. Any fisherman who chooses not to do his part to protect a limited and valuable resource is no sportsman in my book. I suggest taking a couple deep breaths, Fuzzy, and seeing if you can learn a thing or two from another fisherman!

Oh ya, moderators are moderators. You yelled a lot for a moderator. Lots of capital letters for a moderator. Who you yelling at? Is a moderator an important position? Don't yell please.

Who "told" you to review that post? I think this is a voluntary forum.
