The thought of a tiger muskie lurking around a small body of water like Bass Pond can make one hesitate before dipping ones toes in the water. Wayne Baranczyk had the chance to remove that threat from Bass Pond Tuesday, but chose instead to land and then release a humongous tiger muskie.
Wayne never got a photo of the darned thing, choosing caution and common sense over valor as he wrestled the beast into that puny landing net of his (Unlike my own well-documented, 28-inch grass carp yanked from the same body of water last month). But I really did see the thing from my distant belly boat, and Wayne did get a good measurement: a solid 30 capped by a mean face full of teeth. (Plus, there's no denying Wayne had hooked something pretty scary: you could hear the lad being dragged all over the lake for at least 20 minutes, screaming like he'd hooked himself with that tiny Gulp Minnow.
Here’s a stock photo of what his prize must have looked like:
