I was wondering if anyone has caught any tigers out of Leech. As much as I have fished there, I have never even seen one. I have caught some big pike there, so I am sure there are tigers. Just curious!

Chad,
There are tigers in Leech. They are all natural, no stocking involved. It seems like every year you will see at least one photo of a fish in the 46"-47"class. I am sure there are bigger, but these are the photos you see. They are a beautiful fish, and even more special when they aren't stocked.

Brett said it all. I have caught a few but none very large. They are natural. I believe there are very few because the muskies in Leech have abandoned the spawning areas of the northern pike. Leech muskies spawn in deeper water than most muskies on other bodies of water. I guess mother nature sent a message to move the grounds as not to be eaten by all those pesky pike. Just my 2 cents.

Good luck, Murph!
