They use to say fish from the St Lawrence were long but thin. The last two big fish have helped disproved that theory. That looks like another 26" to 28" girth sow. Wow!

I agree, the first thing I thought when I saw the second picture is that it is a hybrid possibly?

Hybrids can grow to enormous size - just because there aren't photo's of them all over the net doesn't mean they don't exist. European pike grow that big, it is surely a fairly good possibility that a tiger can as well.

It looks like a tiger to me. look at those markings!

Not a tiger, or a leopard. That's what a lot of St. Lowance fish look like.
