40" Tiger on jigging rod 6lb test through black ice
« on: Jan 01, 2010, 06:43 PM »
My buddy caught this 40" tiger muskie while jigging for perch. He was using a small kastmaster tipped with a mousie and had 6# test line. It took 15 minutes to get in, here are the last 8. We could see the whole fight through the 3-4" black ice.

Great job gentlemen true ice fishing memory of a lifetime. What was the weight and length of the Tiger? Got to love that black ice adds to the excitement when you see the fish.

That's my buddy's auger  ;D He has a gas auger but for thin ice he likes to check the ice and make his holes with an axe.

It was released after a few quick pics. Sorry about the F-bombs. I cut the first 5 minutes of video out and my buddy was pretty excited when he figured out it was a big ski and not a bass.

Nice fish, cool video     HORRIBLE fish handling!!!!!!  Try a horizontal hold, much easier an a large fish if you are going to release it
