Chasing Tiger Muskies

Newton reservoir in northern Utah, is one of the few great places to try your luck in reeling in the elusive tiger muskie. A fish that can grow to over 40" is sure to delight any angler who is lucky enough to catch one of these beasts. Underwater footage catches a rare glimpse of these monsters in their habitat and there finicky nature in frustrating anglers and eluding their bait.

@wnek45 No he was not weighting it, the tool is to grab the fish but u still need to support it. If you wanna weigth the fish you should put it in a weighting bag.

@dragoonclan4 he was weighing it ?

Great video, but the only thing i didn't like was at 7:45 where he didn't support the fish. It's import you support the fish especially with a fish that size.

Nice video.

Have a look at some of the Mick Brown videos on Pike (Muskie) fishing and see how he handles them without the need for a contraption. Worth a look and he's a nice bloke too !

Next time you have a follow try and do the figure eight method to coax the fish into striking

He's not handling that muskie properly at all...however it is a hybrid tiger, and they are a little tougher the the common musky.

Holding a muskie or any large fish verticaly does nothing but harm the fish' organs and spine...tisk tisk !

Prime example of all the things NOT to do when handling a Muskie. First keep them in the water as much as possible. Measure it while it in the water and remove the hook while it’s in the water. Second, hanging it on a Boga, by its jaw is very hard on the fish. If you want to get the weight, weigh it in a net. Finally, don’t hang a Pike or Muskie vertically. Their organs are suspended inside their body and when the fish is held vertically it puts a lot of stress on them and can do serous damage.
