Can’t keep them hybrids in Wisconsin. Nice fish. How long did you have to fight him? On a tipup or jig pole? What’s was the magic bait inquiring minds want to know. Congrats once again beautiful colors on that fish.

Geez - talk about sensitive.... I'm by no means an expert but maybe you shouldn't have made the subject line what it is - unless you were joking.  It's a great fish no doubt.  Most (if not 95%) of us have caught a tiger that big.  I, for one, have never caught one before but to say it's close this or that and then it wasn't because you might have checked the info before posting...I'm just saying you wanted congrats but you can't make statements like that and think people will take it at face value or not say something.  That's just human nature...like I said, it's a great fish and I would have it on my wall but you probably could have just put a couple things and the pic...that's it.  No need to get defensive about it...

X2.....Nice fish......how could I guy not expect to get jumped on making a claim of being close to a world record fish knowing........he is not even close.

Nice fish. They are a blast to catch and are one of the best looking fish.

My all time best tip up catch went like this. Flag went up and I could see only an inch or so of line was taken from the spool. I reset the flag thinking the minnow did it. A few minutes later the flag popped again and the same thing, just enough line out to trip the flag. I reset the flag again and stood over it and sure enough it popped again. This time I fought the fish and got him through the hole. The medium minnow was about 2.5 inches long and the chain pickerel I caught was 5 inches long. The hook was still in the minnow and never touched the pickerel and didn't even pull out of the minnow. That stupid little slime dart bit off more than he could chew by swallowing the minnow head first but it was too big to go down his throat and his teeth were stuck so he couldn't spit it out. Darndest thing I ever saw and for the life of me I couldn't figure out what that tiny pickerel was thinking. Later that same day I did catch a nice 24 inch pickerel and this guy still had the entire tail of an 8 inch perch sticking out of his mouth plus my minnow and the hook in his jaw. I have to wonder why in the world would any fish still be attacking a bait fish when he can't swallow what he already has down his throat. I caught a pretty nice lake trout up in Lake Ontario some years back and as soon as I got him in the boat he puked up 8 4 inch alewives all over the boat. I guess when the food presents itself they just can't resist and gorge themselves to the point of completely stuffed.

I agree, Nice fish and also agree "just inches away from a world record" (In Your World), and that's the one that counts.

If I agreed with you we would both be wrong!

It is a beautiful fish -- you should be proud and savor the experience (although with the fish being 12 lbs. under the ice fishing record and 30 lbs. under the all time record, your opening claim was probably a bit 'overly bold' -- anyway, chalk it up to the excitement of the catch...)!! ;)

That's a good looking fish there. What were the measurements?
Unfortunately I wasn't able to get any.  I didn't have a tape and my scale wasn't working! :(

This thread's title was a simple fun play on words...

Just as bad as the thread titled "13 pounds" I clicked hoping to see a monster walleye, turned out to be a nice pike...

Ruined my day lol...

Good luck on the next one captain!!!

bassmastermark, I was on the lake that day......  I saw someone else holding that fish and snapping photos.... How do we know that's yours????

And no shout out to the camera man or U-T for bait.... Millennials, always so entitled.
