| I caught these two "bonus tiger muskies" this year, on Vermilion.
It's rare to catch a tiger here!
It's only the third tiger I've caught on Vermilion, in nine years

| Those are definitely a nice bonus! My buddy caught a 24 inch tiger there 2 weeks ago. Thanks for the pics! |

| Do you guys think tigers are easier to catch then pures? Like if a tiger and a Muskie were next too each other which one would be easier to catch?

Location: North St. Paul, MN | Must've been stocked. Just ask NPike, he'll tell you how rare they are...they have to "come from a hatchery."
This, my observations through catching tigers in nonstocked waters (ontario and Wisconsin rivers), countless other first hand accounts prove this to be wrong. As the great Randy Moss said, "if you axe me."
Great bonus fish! I've been hearing more and more about these type of catches. |

| Beautiful tigers, they can be relatively easy in catch in some waters, but difficult to catch on lakes with high fishing pressure unless you use off the wall tactics. Muskies can be the same way. |

Location: Billings, MT | Tigers are difinately not easier, just different. I've found they like to be very shallow, prefer small baits, and don't follow much. It's amazing many are caught at all in these days of fishing big baits. Just like pure reads, if conditions are off, so are the fish. I fished them a lot in a reservoir, and if they had the gates open and the water was on the drop, they were off until the water filled back up to normal. If you had them off for a few days, then a day with stable water conditions, overcast, and a breeze, you could #*^@ near catch every fish in the lake. But when they were off, we could see 100 fish in a day and they would not care about a bait. |
