Interesting catch
I dont know who this guy is but he showed my buddy a picture of this fish he said he caught by two bridges road and said it was 45 inches. Isn't this a tiger musky? I normally wouldn't post a pic from someone else but I thought this was a rare catch. I never caught a tiger musky in the passaic.

Re: Interesting catch
That certainly is a Tiger Musky! And a beautiful specimen indeed. Congrats to the angler that caught the fish. Any idea if this fish is still swimming?

Re: Interesting catch
You can say u caught it anywhere on the internet. All my pike really came from Millstone
 Greenwood Lake escapee? It would have to have gone from there to Monksville Res to Wanaque Res to Pompton River to Passaic. I would say its unlikely. I'm unfamiliar with their spillways but if they all have over the top spillways(or releases) its entirely possible. More likely somebody threw it in there.

Re: Interesting catch
.
That certainly looks like Passaic River Poison Ivy growing around the trees. But I can't confirm it. Musky fingerlings are relatively expensive. It would seem unlikely someone would dump them in the Passaic on a lark. He might have said he caught it in the Passaic as a 'red herring' to protect his fishing spot. I've seen some shore anglers manage to catch big muskies in Little Swartswood. .

Re: Interesting catch
I don't know what the person did with the fish but isn't that the two bridges parking lot in the background? I agree with you rob. Looks like a low 40s fish. Weird how he is holding it up top away from the water. I also can't imagine that he caught it by the bridge. That water was super shallow all summer. Who knows.

Re: Interesting catch
Another beautiful specimen from the MIGHTY PASSAIC. Congrats to the angler should you read this, hell of a catch!! I knew this would show sooner or later, and was obviously hoping I ran into Mr. Muskie on the river but it definitely shouldn't be the only one out there I think. Hope it got let sweet though.
