At least two tourists visiting Wisconsin’s Northwoods have experienced the thrill of catching a gigantic tiger muskie using catch-and-release techniques.
On June 10, longtime muskie angler Ken Williams of Fishers, Indiana, caught a 45 1/2-inch tiger muskie when it hit a Musky Innovations Swimmin’ Dawg. He caught the fish from a weed-covered hump in the middle of the lake. When I sent a photo of the tiger to Williams’ resort owner and guide Rob Manthea, he recognized the fish as one that had been caught twice from his boat.
