42" tiger muskie I caught and released last year. Got it from the shore using a 12" sucker under a big bobber (quick-strike rig). Estimated 22lbs, this is my first fish over 20.



The crazy thing is how much bigger muskies get!

Landed a 38" pike in the Boundary Waters last October using the exact same rig. My biggest pike yet too.



Thick 20" smallmouth are worth mentioning it too. Did not catch it on the muskie rig.
