<p>Pictured here is the actual angler who landed the fish.</strong></p>

<p>Mike Schultz, of DeWitt, holds up a 42-inch tiger muskie he caught July 8 on the Jamesville Reservoir while fishing from a kayak. After hooking it with a topwater lure resembling a frog, Schultz fought the fish for more than an hour and got it into his kayak without the use of a net.</p>

<p>His grandfather, James Stoutenger, also of DeWitt, who was nearby and also in a kayak, assisted him.</p>

<p>Schultz brought the fish to shore and gave it away. He caught the fish with his baitcaster, using 12-pound test and no wire leader.<br /></p>
