Great Tiger

[Ivan]

I know you guys like tigers, so I figured I'd share a pic. We are on our way home from our yearly St Clair trip. My buddy, Ed, that fished with me and my Dad released this beautiful natural tiger this week. 45.5" This was my 15th year fishing LSC and only the second tiger we've ever got there, so they are pretty rare. Caught on a Wiley, of course. One of my favorite fish I've ever had in my boat.

Wow! A beauty!

Thanks for holding it horizontal, and not vertical.    I hope most know it, but even holding larger bass vertical can damage vertebrae and nerves.   A fish that size and weight would certainly suffer

some damage.

 

Awesome fish, and excellent catch and release!

Beautiful fish and experience.....most folks never get to sample that type of experience either....JimB's tip is definitely worth heeding too Catch and release is great but only if done right. Thanks for the report and pic...really neat!

Where do you stay when you go there? Where do you launch?

What a fish! Fish of a lifetime!

I stay and fish the canadian side of the lake for the most part. I fish it from one end to the other depending on where i locate fish. There are launches in any creek/river. Where i launch can depend on wind , threat of weather, and where we are getting fish. Belle river is in the middle of the canadian side. Its pretty big water.

Amazing fishing, Adam!  I am still in awe of the size of the tail on that tiger.  Does anyone know if a large tiger normally has such a large tail, or was this just abnormal?

[Ivan]

Thanks for all the compliments guys. It definitely was a special fish.

Very nice!! Great picture too. We need a high five emotion for times like this.

What is meant by a "natural" tiger. I thought they were a sterile hybrid.

A natural tiger is naturally produced when muskie and pike are spawning in the same area at same time as opposed to a stocked tiger which is produced in a hatchery.Tigers are not stocked in LSC so it would have to be natural.

[maddog]

Wow! Absolutely beautiful fish of a lifetime! Definitely need to get a blowup of the excellent picture too!

[Ivan]

Thats right. Actually, there are no muskies stocked in lsc . Totally self sustaining natural reproduction.

Great fish I thought tigers were sterile if so it must have been stocked somewhere
