What is the record Tiger Muskie in Washington State?
The 31.25 lb. fish caught by John Bays from Mayfield Lake on a plastic scampy shrimp holds the official state record. Mike Nielsen’s 31.15 lb. fish from Merwin Lake was also caught on an artificial lure in 2005 (unofficial weight on non-certified hatchery scale; fish was released back into Merwin Lake after being weighed at the state hatchery).
