Fished Newman Lake this morning, got on the water about 9:30 and it was like glass. The weather was over cast, water temp was 72.0 degrees. Had multiple follows and finally got a taker, a 43" 19 1/2 girth Tiger Muskie about 1:30pm on a #5 spinner. Not bad for a first Tiger Muskie if i say so myself. Sorry for the terrible picture but how do you hold a 43" approx 20 lb fish and take the picture when your fishing alone lol. The picture doesnt do this fish justice. Guess i should have taken the wife lol...

Thanks for the posting, I enjoy seeing the pictures. I know how hard it is to take a picture by yourself with your fish.
I have done it with the timer on my phone or camera, placing a towel on the top of my cooler to keep it from sliding.
I have learned what height I need, and only having ten seconds to pick up the fish and center the shot. It takes practice.

Glad to see the early success with the Tigers. I know a good camera man who is willing to be your on-board photographer in trade for home cooked pie. Mighty are the Muskie. The fly guy!
