This beast was caught at Newton Reservoir using a rattle trap (lipless crankbait). He measured in at over 38 inches long, and over 12 pounds!
Here's a closer image of the same fish, displaying the Tiger Muskie's razor sharp teeth.This was my first trip to Tiger infested waters! Newton Reservoir is one of 4 bodies of water in Utah that has Tiger Muskie. I went to Newton Reservoir on July 4th, in hopes to catch Largemouth Bass, and maybe an occasional Tiger Muskie, but I left that day having caught 3 Tiger Muskie, and not a single Largemouth! Since the Tiger Muskie are a much larger fish and may be considered by some to be a once in a life time catch, lets just say that I wasn't disappointed to have caught 3 of them. This one weighed over 10 pounds, and was probably between 30 and 35 inches long. I caught one which was probably over 20 pounds, but it managed to spit the hook right as I was about to net the fish.
