A Connecticut man landed an incredible fish last month.

Joe Rivas, 32, of Oxford, caught a 41-inch, 26-pound tiger muskie in Lake Lillinonah in July, according to a report from the Danbury-based newspaper the News-Times.
"How is your summer fishing going?!" the agency wrote on Facebook. "Thanks to Joe for sharing this photo of an impressive tiger muskie he recently caught."
 

The agency also explained that a tiger muskie is a cross between a muskellunge and a northern pike.
The News-Times reported that a regional organization has been stocking tiger muskies in Lake Lillinonah for about five to seven years.

People who commented on Connecticut Fish and Wildlife’s Facebook post were mostly shocked by Rivas' catch.
