This forum post and picture from Ohio caught my eye because several years ago I skinned out a tiger muskie taken from Hamlin Lake, Mason County that was 51 inches, 31 pounds, 12 ounces. That skin mount is up on a home wall in Ludington. Since I personally know how big muskies can get in Hamlin Lake you can understand why I'm excited to see our MMA fish back in Hamlin Lake.

They say that Tigers have not been stocked there since 1985. What do attribute that fish's long lifespan to? I keep plugging away on Whitmore looking for one of those still hanging around.
Its been about four years since I have seen one. 😕

The fish I was refering to was taken 1981 (?). I was in Ludington at the home Monday, but I didn't go down to the room to where the fish was.
