What size tank for this?

[id10t]

Friend and I went out fishing, and I was wondering what size tank would be suitable for this beast for life? Planted tank or bare? Gravel/rock or sand bottom?

(no, we didnt' catch it, got forwarded this in an email....)

prolly salmon from the looks of downriggers and noodle rods. or maybe deep water pike/muskies?

I BET THEY WERE LOOKING FOR FRESHWATER ELKFISH!

That elk should do fine in a ten gallon for life, a tiger muskie might make a good tankmate!

maybe lake trout or stripers? Really depends on where they are fishing

The boat says Almar on the side, Almar is based in Washington state and custom designs aluminum boats. Elk live in Washington so my best guess is that's where they are fishing, probably salmon.

mercury engines pack quite a punch!. The coast guard uses dual mercuries to catch up to other boats

this past summer i saw a coastguard boat, tiny boat like a raft with twin 250 yammies.. that thing took off like no other.. oh and they had guns mounted on the front and back.
