E.C. - muskie would be a world record! If indeed you have seen a 110 lb. muskie it exceeds any records by a considerable weight. Scott and Crossman (Freshwater Fishes of Canada) report the world record caught by angling at 69 lb 15 oz. There are a couple of reports since that book was published (1973) in the 60 lb. area, but none bigger. Hopefully someone documented that monster!! BTW as a biologist I see the discussions regarding the common names of fish and other species is often very confusing. That is why we use Latin Nomenclature to clarify the species we are referring to. As has been correctly pointed the "Chain Pickerel" is a member of the Esocidae family (pike/musky, etc) and the "Walleye" is a member of the Percidae (perch family). A "tiger musky" is a beautiful fish and results, as you suggested from a Pike X Musky cross. Cheers
